	This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to get the run_tests logic. On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places. However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very simply in a subsequent patch. The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS). We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS) because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide a different implementation. Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be executable, we add a+x to several.

2014-07-31	mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+17
	Kenton Varda <kenton@sandstorm.io> discovered that by remounting a read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user to the remount a read-only mount read-write. Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared. It was also discovered that the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed. The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed. To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Serge E.
