[PATCH v6] selftest: size: Add size test for Linux kernel
From: Tim Bird
Date: Wed Dec 03 2014 - 13:42:32 EST
This test shows the amount of memory used by the system.
Note that this is dependent on the user-space that is loaded
when this program runs. Optimally, this program would be
run as the init program itself.
The program is optimized for size itself, to avoid conflating
its own execution with that of the system software.
The code is compiled statically, with no stdlibs. On my x86_64 system,
this results in a statically linked binary of less than 5K.

Changes from v5:
- remove #ifdef in Makefile (doh!)
- use variables in build command
- use different num_to_str, with less conversions
Changes from v4:
- make most routines static
- replace strip with gcc -s
- remove explicit reference to _start
- change --static to -static
- remove explicit reference to LIBGCC
- fix test description for ok and not ok paths, for test 1
Changes from v3:
- add more human-readable output
- put libgcc reference into a variable in Makefile
Changes from v2:
- fix copyright string (again!)
- use __builtin_strlen instead of my own strlen
- replace main with _start
Changes from v1:
- add return values to print routines
- add .gitignore file
- use more correct Copyright string in get_size.c
