When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...two types of warnings occur:

    warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type
    'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of
    value

    warning: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned long'
    has no effect

Fix these by:

a) using labs() in place of abs(), when long integers are involved, and

b) Change to use signed integer data types, in places where subtraction
   is used (and could end up with negative values).

c) Remove a duplicate abs() call in cmt_test.c.

Every test calls its cleanup function at the end of it's test function.
After the cleanup function pointer is added to the test framework this
can be simplified to executing the callback function at the end of the
generic test running function.

Make test cleanup functions static and call them from the end of
run_single_test() from the resctrl_test's cleanup function pointer.

Resctrl selftests use very similar functions to cleanup after
themselves. This creates a lot of code duplication. Also not being
hooked to the test framework means that ctrl-c handler isn't aware of
what test is currently running and executes all cleanups even though
only one is needed.

Add a function pointer to the resctrl_test struct and attach to it
cleanup functions from individual tests.

validate_resctrl_feature_request() is used to test both if a resource is
present in the info directory, and if a passed monitoring feature is
present in the mon_features file.

Refactor validate_resctrl_feature_request() into two smaller functions
that each accomplish one check to give feature checking more
granularity:
- Resource directory presence in the /sys/fs/resctrl/info directory.
- Feature name presence in the /sys/fs/resctrl/info/&lt;RESOURCE&gt;/mon_features
  file.

<title>selftests/resctrl: Pass write_schemata() resource instead of test name</title>

write_schemata() takes the test name as an argument and determines the
relevant resource based on the test name. Such mapping from name to
resource does not really belong to resctrlfs.c that should provide
only generic, test-independent functions.

Pass the resource stored in the test information structure to
write_schemata() instead of the test name. The new API is also more
flexible as it enables to use write_schemata() for more than one
resource within a test.

While touching the sprintf(), move the unnecessary %c that is always
'=' directly into the format string.

Each test currently has a "run test" function in per test file and
another resctrl_tests.c. The functions in resctrl_tests.c are almost
identical.

Generalize the one in resctrl_tests.c such that it can be shared
between all of the tests. It makes adding new tests easier and removes
the per test if () forests.

Also add comment to CPU vendor IDs that they must be defined as bits
for a bitmask.

<title>selftests/resctrl: Return -1 instead of errno on error</title>

A number of functions in the resctrl selftests return errno. It is
problematic because errno is positive which is often counterintuitive.
Also, every site returning errno prints the error message already with
ksft_perror() so there is not much added value in returning the precise
error code.

Simply convert all places returning errno to return -1 that is typical
userspace error code in case of failures.

While at it, improve resctrl_val() comment to state that 0 means the
test was run (either pass or fail).

The resctrl selftest code contains a number of perror() calls. Some of
them come with hash character and some don't. The kselftest framework
provides ksft_perror() that is compatible with test output formatting
so it should be used instead of adding custom hash signs.

Some perror() calls are too far away from anything that sets error.
For those call sites, ksft_print_msg() must be used instead.

Convert perror() to ksft_perror() or ksft_print_msg().

Other related changes:
- Remove hash signs
- Remove trailing stops &amp; newlines from ksft_perror()
- Add terminating newlines for converted ksft_print_msg()
- Use consistent capitalization
- Small fixes/tweaks to typos &amp; grammar of the messages
- Extract error printing out of PARENT_EXIT() to be able to
  differentiate

The initial value of 5% chosen for the maximum allowed percentage
difference between resctrl mbm value and IMC mbm value in

commit 06bd03a57f8c ("selftests/resctrl: Fix MBA/MBM results reporting
       format") was "randomly chosen value" (as admitted by the changelog).

When running tests in our lab across a large number platforms, 5%
difference upper bound for success seems a bit on the low side for the
MBA and MBM tests. Some platforms produce outliers that are slightly
above that, typically 6-7%, which leads MBA/MBM test frequently
failing.

Replace the "randomly chosen value" with a success bound that is based
on those measurements across large number of platforms by relaxing the
MBA/MBM success bound to 8%. The relaxed bound removes the failures due
the frequent outliers.
