I'm not sure it's a particularly good idea to run kselftest as a non-root user TBH, it's going to cause you to skip a lot of tests.
We don't want Kselftest default run to be as root. Users can choose to run as root which would be an explicit choice so they expect and plan for the impact. Example panic test.
OTOH if you're trying to verify that the tests aren't broken it's not that great since it'll mean that you'll not be exercising a bunch of the code.
Correct. Running Kselftest as root is the best approach for full coverage.
