commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

This avoids repeating the logic in every Makefile. We mimic the
top-level Makefile and use $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc.

<title>selftests: Add install target</title>

This adds make install support to selftests. The basic usage is:

$ cd tools/testing/selftests
$ make install

That installs into tools/testing/selftests/install, which can then be
copied where ever necessary.

The install destination is also configurable using eg:

$ INSTALL_PATH=/mnt/selftests make install

The implementation uses two targets in the child makefiles. The first
"install" is expected to install all files into $(INSTALL_PATH).

The second, "emit_tests", is expected to emit the test instructions (ie.
bash script) on stdout. Separating this from install means the child
makefiles need no knowledge of the location of the test script.

<title>selftests: Introduce minimal shared logic for running tests</title>

This adds a Make include file which most selftests can then include to
get the run_tests logic.

On its own this has the advantage of some reduction in repetition, and
also means the pass/fail message is defined in fewer places.

However the key advantage is it will allow us to implement install very
simply in a subsequent patch.

The default implementation just executes each program in $(TEST_PROGS).

We use a variable to hold the default implementation of $(RUN_TESTS)
because that gives us a clean way to override it if necessary, ie. using
override. The mount, memory-hotplug and mqueue tests use that to provide
a different implementation.

Tests are not run via /bin/bash, so if they are scripts they must be
executable, we add a+x to several.

<title>efivars: efivarfs_valid_name() should handle pstore syntax</title>

<id>123abd76edf56c02a76b46d3d673897177ef067b</id>
<content type='text'>
Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383b2b
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba3b ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.

The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,

  $ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory

whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,

    /* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
    if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))

as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-&lt;guid&gt;.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.

(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)
