The selftests depend on using the shell exit code as a mean of detecting the success or failure of test-binary executed. The appropiate output "[PASS]" or "[FAIL]" in generated by tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk. Notice that the exit code is masked with 255. Thus, be careful if using the number of errors as the exit code, as 256 errors would be seen as a success. There are two standard defined exit(3) codes: /usr/include/stdlib.h #define EXIT_FAILURE 1 /* Failing exit status. */ #define EXIT_SUCCESS 0 /* Successful exit status. */ Fix test_verifier.c to not use the negative value of variable "results", but instead return EXIT_FAILURE. Fix test_align.c and test_progs.c to actually use exit codes, before they were always indicating success regardless of results.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
