Subject: [PATCH 10/11] kselftest/arm64: Use execv() to start fp-stress test loads
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 18:06:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-arm64-fp-stress-kvm-v1-10-31bce995b49b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-arm64-fp-stress-kvm-v1-0-31bce995b49b@kernel.org>
In preparation for adding KVM test loads which will take command line
arguments switch to using execv() instead of execl() to start the test
load programs.
