According to the awk manual, the -e option does not need to be specified
in front of 'program' (unless you need to mix program-file).

The redundant -e option can cause error when users use awk tools other
than gawk (for example, mawk does not support the -e option).

Error Example:
awk: not an option: -e

<title>selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test</title>

Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as
expected.

Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger
an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging.

Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write
(using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE.

Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible
(PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.

[david@redhat.com: use sizeof(i) in test_prot_none(), per Peter]

<title>selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: test in mmap_and_merge_range() if anything got merged</title>

<content type='text'>
Let's extend mmap_and_merge_range() to test if anything in the current
process was merged. range_maps_duplicates() is too unreliable for that
use case, so instead look at KSM stats.

Trigger a complete unmerge first, to cleanup the stable tree and
stabilize accounting of merged pages.

Note that we're using /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages instead of
/proc/self/ksm_stat, because that one is available in more existing
kernels.

If /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages can't be opened, we can't perform any
checks and simply skip them.

We have to special-case the shared zeropage for now. But the only user
-- test_unmerge_zero_pages() -- performs its own merge checks.

commit 686a8bb72349("selftests/mm: split uffd tests into uffd-stress and

obviously we need to modify the help information synchronously.

Also modify code indentation.

It is very unclear to me how one is supposed to run all the mm selftests
consistently and get clear results.

Most of the test programs are launched by both run_vmtests.sh and
run_kselftest.sh:

  hugepage-mmap
  hugepage-shm
  map_hugetlb
  hugepage-mremap
  hugepage-vmemmap
  hugetlb-madvise
  map_fixed_noreplace
  gup_test
  gup_longterm
  uffd-unit-tests
  uffd-stress
  compaction_test
  on-fault-limit
  map_populate
  mlock-random-test
  mlock2-tests
  mrelease_test
  mremap_test
  thuge-gen
  virtual_address_range
  va_high_addr_switch
  mremap_dontunmap
  hmm-tests
  madv_populate
  memfd_secret
  ksm_tests
  ksm_functional_tests
  soft-dirty
  cow

However, of this set, when launched by run_vmtests.sh, some of the
programs are invoked multiple times with different arguments. When
invoked by run_kselftest.sh, they are invoked without arguments (and as
a consequence, some fail immediately).

Some test programs are only launched by run_vmtests.sh:

  test_vmalloc.sh

And some test programs and only launched by run_kselftest.sh:

  khugepaged
  migration
  mkdirty
  transhuge-stress
  split_huge_page_test
  mdwe_test
  write_to_hugetlbfs

Furthermore, run_vmtests.sh is invoked by run_kselftest.sh, so in this
case all the test programs invoked by both scripts are run twice!

Needless to say, this is a bit of a mess. In the absence of fully
understanding the history here, it looks to me like the best solution is
to launch ALL test programs from run_vmtests.sh, and ONLY invoke
run_vmtests.sh from run_kselftest.sh. This way, we get full control over
the parameters, each program is only invoked the intended number of
times, and regardless of which script is used, the same tests get run in
the same way.

The only drawback is that if using run_kselftest.sh, it's top-level tap
result reporting reports only a single test and it fails if any of the
contained tests fail. I don't see this as a big deal though since we
still see all the nested reporting from multiple layers. The other issue
with this is that all of run_vmtests.sh must execute within a single
kselftest timeout period, so let's increase that to something more
suitable.

In the Makefile, TEST_GEN_PROGS will compile and install the tests and
will add them to the list of tests that run_kselftest.sh will run.
TEST_GEN_FILES will compile and install the tests but will not add them
to the test list. So let's move all the programs from TEST_GEN_PROGS to
TEST_GEN_FILES so that they are built but not executed by
run_kselftest.sh. Note that run_vmtests.sh is added to TEST_PROGS, which
means it ends up in the test list. (the lack of "_GEN" means it won't be
compiled, but simply copied).

<title>selftests/mm: optionally pass duration to transhuge-stress</title>

Until now, transhuge-stress runs until its explicitly killed, so when
invoked by run_kselftest.sh, it would run until the test timeout, then it
would be killed and the test would be marked as failed.

Add a new, optional command line parameter that allows the user to specify
the duration in seconds that the program should run.  The program exits
after this duration with a success (0) exit code.  If the argument is
omitted the old behacvior remains.

On it's own, this doesn't quite solve our problem because run_kselftest.sh
does not allow passing parameters to the program under test.  But we will
shortly move this to run_vmtests.sh, which does allow parameter passing.
