------------------------------------------------------ From: Tiezhu Yang yangtiezhu@loongson.cn Subject: selftests/clone3: Fix broken test under !CONFIG_TIME_NS Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:13:34 +0800
When execute the following command to test clone3 under !CONFIG_TIME_NS:
# make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3
we can see the following error info:
# [7538] Trying clone3() with flags 0x80 (size 0) # Invalid argument - Failed to create new process # [7538] clone3() with flags says: -22 expected 0 not ok 18 [7538] Result (-22) is different than expected (0) ... # Totals: pass:18 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
This is because if CONFIG_TIME_NS is not set, but the flag CLONE_NEWTIME (0x80) is used to clone a time namespace, it will return -EINVAL in copy_time_ns().
If kernel does not support CONFIG_TIME_NS, /proc/self/ns/time will be not exist, and then we should skip clone3() test with CLONE_NEWTIME.
With this patch under !CONFIG_TIME_NS:
# make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3 ... # Time namespaces are not supported ok 18 # SKIP Skipping clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME ... # Totals: pass:18 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0
