Pull kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:

 - speed up headers_install done during selftest build

 - add generic make nesting support

 - add support to select individual tests:

   Selftests build/install generates run_kselftest.sh script to run
   selftests on a target system. Currently the script doesn't have
   support for selecting individual tests. Add support for it.

   With this enhancement, user can select test collections (or tests)
   individually. e.g:

      run_kselftest.sh -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timers:nanosleep

   Additionally adds a way to list all known tests with "-l", usage with
   "-h", and perform a dry run without running tests with "-n".

* tag 'linux-kselftest-next-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest:
  doc: dev-tools: kselftest.rst: Update examples and paths
  selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Make each test individually selectable
  selftests: Extract run_kselftest.sh and generate stand-alone test list
  selftests: Add missing gitignore entries
  selftests: more general make nesting support
  selftests: use "$(MAKE)" instead of "make" for headers_install

<content type='text'>
Add additional hooks to test_firmware to pass in support
for partial file read using request_firmware_into_buf():

	buf_size: size of buffer to request firmware into
	partial: indicates that a partial file request is being made
	file_offset: to indicate offset into file to request

Also update firmware selftests to use the new partial read test API.

The firmware tests would always time out for me. Add a correct timeout,
including details on how the value was reached. Additionally allow the
test harness to skip comments in settings files and report how long a
given timeout was.

<title>firmware_loader: load files from the mount namespace of init</title>

<id>901cff7cb96140a658a848a568b606ba764239bc</id>
<content type='text'>
I have an experimental setup where almost every possible system
service (even early startup ones) runs in separate namespace, using a
dedicated, minimal file system. In process of minimizing the contents
of the file systems with regards to modules and firmware files, I
noticed that in my system, the firmware files are loaded from three
different mount namespaces, those of systemd-udevd, init and
systemd-networkd. The logic of the source namespace is not very clear,
it seems to depend on the driver, but the namespace of the current
process is used.

So, this patch tries to make things a bit clearer and changes the
loading of firmware files only from the mount namespace of init. This
may also improve security, though I think that using firmware files as
attack vector could be too impractical anyway.

Later, it might make sense to make the mount namespace configurable,
for example with a new file in /proc/sys/kernel/firmware_config/. That
would allow a dedicated file system only for firmware files and those
need not be present anywhere else. This configurability would make
more sense if made also for kernel modules and /sbin/modprobe. Modules
are already loaded from init namespace (usermodehelper uses kthreadd
namespace) except when directly loaded by systemd-udevd.

Instead of using the mount namespace of the current process to load
firmware files, use the mount namespace of init process.

firmware attempts to load test modules that require root access

This patch adds the test cases for checking compressed firmware load.
Two more cases are added to fw_filesystem.sh:
- Both a plain file and an xz file are present, and load the former
- Only an xz file is present, and load without '.xz' suffix

The tests are enabled only when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS is enabled
and xz program is installed.
