Subject: kbuild: kselftest error

Hi - I noticed the kselftest target in the kernel Makefile and decided
to try it out of curiosity:

afustini at lappy486:~/dev/linux/lappy486/git/kernels/mainline$ sudo make
kselftest

Has anyone run kselftest successfully?

I ran into an error that I'm trying to figure out:

== Testing sysctl behavior against /proc/sys/vm/swappiness ==
Writing test file ... ok
Checking sysctl is not set to test value ... ok
Writing sysctl from shell ... ok

make[2]: *** [fw_userhelper] Error 1
make[1]: *** [run_tests] Error 2
make: *** [kselftest] Error 2

I'm running kernel that I compiled from linus's tree 2 days ago.

After encountering the error, I turned on all the testing config options
I could find under the kernel hacking category.  However, I encountered
the same kselftest error with the newly built kernel:
