[PATCH v5 2/3] selftests/lam: Skip test if LAM is disabled

From: Maciej Wieczor-Retman
Date: Wed Nov 27 2024 - 12:36:31 EST


Until LASS is merged into the kernel [1], LAM is left disabled in the
config file. Running the LAM selftest with disabled LAM only results in
unhelpful output.

Use one of LAM syscalls() to determine whether the kernel was compiled
with LAM support (CONFIG_ADDRESS_MASKING) or not. Skip running the tests
in the latter case.
