Pull more kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:

 - kselftest framework bpf build/test workflow regression fix

 - Fix to kselftest install to use default install path

 - Fix to kselftest KBUILD_OUTPUT builds to not clutter main
   KBUILD_OUTPUT directory with selftest objects

 - .gitignore fixes (Kelsey Skunberg)

 - rseq selftests updates (Mathieu Desnoyers and Martin Schwidefsky)

   They change the per-architecture pre-abort signatures to ensure those
   are valid trap instructions.

   The way exit points are presented to debuggers is enhanced, ensuring
   all exit points are present, so debuggers don't have to disassemble
   rseq critical section to properly skip over them.

   Discussions with the glibc community is reaching a consensus of
   exposing a __rseq_handled symbol from glibc to coexist with rseq
   early adopters. Update the rseq selftest code to expose and use this
   symbol.

   Support for compiling asm goto with clang is added with the
   "-no-integrated-as" compiler switch, similarly to the top level
   kernel Makefile.

 - kselftest Makefile test run output refactoring and making test output
   TAP13 compliant from Kees Cook:

   This re-factors the selftest Makefiles to extract the test running
   logic to be reused between "run_tests" and "emit_tests", while also
   fixing up the test output to be TAP version 13 compliant:
	- added "plan" line
	- fixed result line syntax
	- moved all test output to be "# "-prefixed as TAP "diagnostic"
	  lines

   The prefixing code includes a fallback mode for limited execution
   environments.

   Additionally, the plan lines are fixed for all callers of
   kselftest.h.

  Other major topics that were brewing on the linux-nvdimm mailing list

  Summary:

   - Fix a long standing namespace label corruption scenario when
     re-provisioning capacity for a namespace.

   - Restore the ability of the dax_pmem module to be built-in.

   - Harden the build for the 'nfit_test' unit test modules so that the

     available"

<content type='text'>
The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU
watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports.  Refer to watchdog_cpumask
and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on
these.  When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than
PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get
incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set.  This commit
implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a
bitmap size, as in the watchdog case.  The bitmap is used to test the
bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap().

The next commit fixes this issue.

On old kernels older new test knobs implemented on the test_sysctl
module may not be available.  This is expected, and the selftests test
scripts should be able to run without failures on older kernels.

Generalize a solution so that we test for each required test target file
for each test by requiring each test description to annotate their
respective test target file.  If the target file does not exist, we skip
the test gracefully.

<title>tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: ignore diff output on verify_diff_w()</title>

When verify_diff_w() is used we care about the result, not the verbose
output, and although we use -q, that still gives us a chatty message
about if the files differ or not.  Since verify_diff_w() uses stdinput
the chatty message says whether or not "-" matches the target file, and
this just seems rather odd.  Better to just ignore that messsage all
together, what we really care about i sthe results, the return value and
we check for that.

<title>tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: load module before testing for it</title>

Currently the test script checks for the existence of the sysctl test
module's directory path prior to loading it.  We must first try to load
the module prior to checking for that path.  This fixes the order for
the load / test.

<title>tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: remove superfluous test_reqs()</title>

Patch series "sysctl: add pending proc_do_large_bitmap fix".

Eric sent a fix out for proc_do_large_bitmap() last month for when using
a large input buffer.  After patch review a test case for the issue was
built and submitted.  I noticed there were a few issues with the tests,
but instead of just asking Eric to address them I've taken care of them
and ammended the commit where necessary.  There's a few issues he
reported which I also address and fix in this series.

Since we *do* expect users of these scripts to also use them on older
kernels, I've also addressed not breaking calling the script for them,
and gives us an easy way to easily extend our tests cases for future
kernels as well.

Before anyone considers these for stable as minor fixes, I'd recommend
we also address the discrepancy on the read side of things: modify the
test script to use diff against the target file instead of using the
temp file.

This patch (of 6):

We already call test_reqs(), no need to call it twice.
