[PATCH v2 1/6] test_sysctl: add dedicated proc sysctl test driver

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Fri Jun 30 2017 - 18:45:54 EST


The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test cases,
but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We want to
expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random safe production
values to poke at, that's just insane!

Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the
existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests to
be added.

Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl.

The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next
outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's
and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which is
already present upstream.
