kselftest/runner.sh: add netns support

Add a variable RUN_IN_NETNS if the user wants to run all the selected tests
in namespace in parallel. With this, we can save a lot of testing time.

Note that some tests may not fit to run in namespace, e.g.
net/drop_monitor_tests.sh, as the dwdump needs to be run in init ns.

I also added another parameter -p to make all the logs reported separately
instead of mixing them in the stdout or output.log.

Nit: the NUM in run_one is not used, rename it to test_num.

kselftest/runner.sh: Propagate SIGTERM to runner child

Timeouts in kselftest are done using the "timeout" command with the
"--foreground" option. Without the "foreground" option, it is not
possible for a user to cancel the runner using SIGINT, because the
signal is not propagated to timeout which is running in a different
process group. The "forground" options places the timeout in the same
process group as its parent, but only sends the SIGTERM (on timeout)
signal to the forked process. Unfortunately, this does not play nice
with all kselftests, e.g. "net:fcnal-test.sh", where the child
processes will linger because timeout does not send SIGTERM to the
group.

Some users have noted these hangs [1].

Fix this by nesting the timeout with an additional timeout without the
foreground option.

selftests: line buffer test program's stdout

Patch series "selftests/mm fixes for arm64", v3.

Given my on-going work on large anon folios and contpte mappings, I
decided it would be a good idea to start running mm selftests to help
guard against regressions. However, it soon became clear that I
couldn't get the suite to run cleanly on arm64 with a vanilla v6.5-rc1
kernel (perhaps I'm just doing it wrong??), so got stuck in a rabbit
hole trying to debug and fix all the issues. Some were down to
misconfigurations, but I also found a number of issues with the tests
and even a couple of issues with the kernel.


This patch (of 8):

The selftests runner pipes the test program's stdout to tap_prefix. The
presence of the pipe means that the test program sets its stdout to be
fully buffered (as aposed to line buffered when directly connected to the
terminal). The block buffering means that there is often content in the
buffer at fork() time, which causes the output to end up duplicated. This
was causing problems for mm:cow where test results were duplicated 20-30x.

Solve this by using `stdbuf`, when available to force the test program to
use line buffered mode. This means previously printf'ed results are
flushed out of the program before any fork().

Additionally, explicitly set line buffer mode in ksft_print_header(),
which means that all test programs that use the ksft framework will
benefit even if stdbuf is not present on the system.

selftests: allow runners to override the timeout

The default timeout for selftests tests is 45 seconds. Although
we already have 13 settings for tests of about 96 sefltests which
use a timeout greater than this, we want to try to avoid encouraging
more tests to forcing a higher test timeout as selftests strives to
run all tests quickly. Selftests also uses the timeout as a non-fatal
error. Only tests runners which have control over a system would know
if to treat a timeout as fatal or not.

To help with all this:

o Enhance documentation to avoid future increases of insane timeouts
o Add the option to allow overriding the default timeout with test
runners with a command line option

Some testcases allow for optional commandline parameters but as of now
there is now way to provide such arguments to the runner script.

Add support to retrieve such optional command parameters fron environment
variables named so as to include the all-uppercase test executable name,
sanitized substituting any non-acceptable varname characters with "_",
following the pattern:

selftests/kselftest/runner/run_one(): allow running non-executable files

When running a test program, 'run_one()' checks if the program has the
execution permission and fails if it doesn't. However, it's easy to
mistakenly lose the permissions, as some common tools like 'diff' don't
support the permission change well[1]. Compared to that, making mistakes
in the test program's path would only rare, as those are explicitly listed
in 'TEST_PROGS'. Therefore, it might make more sense to resolve the
situation on our own and run the program.

For this reason, this commit makes the test program runner function still
print the warning message but to try parsing the interpreter of the
program and to explicitly run it with the interpreter, in this case.

kselftest: fix TAP output for skipped tests

According to the TAP specification, a skipped test must be marked as "ok"
and annotated with the SKIP directive, for example

ok 23 # skip Insufficient flogiston pressure.
(https://testanything.org/tap-specification.html)

Fix the kselftest infrastructure to match this.

For ksft_exit_skip, it is preferrable to emit a dummy plan line that
indicates the whole test was skipped, but this is not always possible
because of ksft_exit_skip being used as a "shortcut" by the tests.
In that case, print the test counts and a normal "ok" line. The format
is now the same independent of whether msg is NULL or not (but it is
never NULL in any caller right now).

kselftest/runner: allow to properly deliver signals to tests

While running seccomp_bpf, kill_after_ptrace() gets stuck if we run it
via /usr/bin/timeout (that is the default), until the timeout expires.

This is because /usr/bin/timeout is preventing to properly deliver
signals to ptrace'd children (SIGSYS in this case).

This problem can be easily reproduced by running:

$ sudo make TARGETS=seccomp kselftest
...

# [ RUN ] TRACE_syscall.skip_a#
not ok 1 selftests: seccomp: seccomp_bpf # TIMEOUT

The test is hanging at this point until the timeout expires and then it
reports the timeout error.

Prevent this problem by passing --foreground to /usr/bin/timeout,
allowing to properly deliver signals to children processes.

selftests: settings: tests can be in subsubdirs

Commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second
timeout per test") adds support for a new per-test-directory "settings"
file. But this only works for tests not in a sub-subdirectories, e.g.

- tools/testing/selftests/rtc (rtc) is OK,
- tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp (net/mptcp) is not.

We have to increase the timeout for net/mptcp tests which are not
upstreamed yet but this fix is valid for other tests if they need to add
a "settings" file, see the full list with:

tools/testing/selftests/*/*/**/Makefile

Note that this patch changes the text header message printed at the end
of the execution but this text is modified only for the tests that are
in sub-subdirectories, e.g.

ok 1 selftests: net/mptcp: mptcp_connect.sh

Before we had:

ok 1 selftests: mptcp: mptcp_connect.sh

But showing the full target name is probably better, just in case a
subsubdir has the same name as another one in another subdirectory.

the timeout log. If the test process has killed while printing a log

selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second timeout per test

Commit a745f7af3cbd ("selftests/harness: Add 30 second timeout per
test") solves the problem of kselftest_harness.h-using binary tests
possibly hanging forever. However, scripts and other binaries can still
hang forever. This adds a global timeout to each test script run.

To make this configurable (e.g. as needed in the "rtc" test case),
include a new per-test-directory "settings" file (similar to "config")
that can contain kselftest-specific settings. The first recognized field
is "timeout".

Additionally, this splits the reporting for timeouts into a specific
"TIMEOUT" not-ok (and adds exit code reporting in the remaining case).

selftests: Remove forced unbuffering for test running

As it turns out, the "stdbuf" command will actually force all
subprocesses into unbuffered output, and some implementations of "echo"
turn into single-character writes, which utterly wrecks writes to /sys
and /proc files.

Instead, drop the "stdbuf" usage, and for any tests that want explicit
flushing between newlines, they'll have to add "fflush(stdout);" as
needed.

selftests: Move test output to diagnostic lines

This changes the selftest output so that each test's output is prefixed
with "# " as a TAP "diagnostic line".

This creates a bit of a kernel-specific TAP dialect where the diagnostics
precede the results. The TAP spec isn't entirely clear about this, though,
so I think it's the correct solution so as to keep interactive runs making
sense. If the output _followed_ the result line in the spec-suggested
YAML form, each test would dump all of its output at once instead of as
it went, making debugging harder.

This does, however, solve the recursive TAP output problem, as sub-tests
will simply be prefixed by "# ". Parsing sub-tests becomes a simple
problem of just removing the first two characters of a given top-level
test's diagnostic output, and parsing the results.

Note that the shell construct needed to both get an exit code from
the first command in a pipe and still filter the pipe (to add the "# "
prefix) uses a POSIX solution rather than the bash "pipefail" option
which is not supported by dash.

Since some test environments may have a very minimal set of utilities
available, the new prefixing code will fall back to doing line-at-a-time
prefixing if perl and/or stdbuf are not available.
