<title>lib/test_sysctl: support testing of sysctl. boot parameter</title>

Testing is done by a new parameter debug.test_sysctl.boot_int which
defaults to 0 and it's expected that the tester passes a boot parameter
that sets it to 1.  The test checks if it's set to 1.

To distinguish true failure from parameter not being set, the test
checks /proc/cmdline for the expected parameter, and whether test_sysctl
is built-in and not a module.

test_sysctl.c is expected to be used as a module, but since
it does not use module_init(), it never be registered as
a module and not appeared under /sys/module/.
In the result, the selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh always fails
to find the test module and is skipped.

This makes test_sysctl.c initialized as a module by module_init()
and allow sysctl.sh to find the test module is loaded.

<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.

Test against a simple proc_douintvec() case.  While at it, add a test
against UINT_MAX.  Make sure UINT_MAX works, and UINT_MAX+1 will fail
and that negative values are not accepted.

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.
