[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 41/69] selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_getrandom: Always print TAP header

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 1158220b24674edaf885433153deb4f0e5c7d331 ]

The TAP specification requires that the output begins with a header line.
If vgetrandom_init() fails and skips the test, that header line is missing.

Call vgetrandom_init() after ksft_print_header().

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Analysis of the Commit

### 1. Bug Description
The commit fixes a test output formatting bug in the vDSO getrandom
selftest. Looking at the code changes in
`tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_getrandom.c`:

**Before the fix (lines 239-245 and 296-298 in the original file):**
```c
static void kselftest(void)
{
    // ... variables ...
    ksft_print_header();
    ksft_set_plan(2);
    // ... test code ...
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    vgetrandom_init();  // This was called BEFORE ksft_print_header()

    if (argc == 1) {
        kselftest();
        return 0;
    }
    // ...
}
```

**After the fix:**
```c
static void kselftest(void)
{
    // ... variables ...
    ksft_print_header();
    vgetrandom_init();  // Moved AFTER ksft_print_header()
    ksft_set_plan(2);
    // ... test code ...
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (argc == 1) {
        kselftest();
        return 0;
    }

    // ...
    vgetrandom_init();  // Called here for non-test modes
    // ...
}
```

### 2. Why This is a Bug

The TAP (Test Anything Protocol) specification requires that test output
begins with a version header line (`TAP version 13`). The
`ksft_print_header()` function prints this required header.

Looking at `vgetrandom_init()` (lines 113-131), it contains multiple
`ksft_exit_skip()` calls that can terminate the test early:
- Line 121: If `AT_SYSINFO_EHDR` is not present
- Line 125: If the vDSO symbol is missing
- Line 128: If the CPU doesn't have runtime support

When `vgetrandom_init()` was called before `ksft_print_header()`, these
skip conditions would exit the test without printing the TAP header,
violating the TAP specification and potentially breaking test harnesses
that parse the output.

### 3. Stable Backport Criteria Assessment

✓ **Fixes a bug that affects users**: Yes, this fixes incorrect test
output that can break automated test systems and CI/CD pipelines that
parse TAP output.

✓ **Relatively small and contained**: Yes, the fix is minimal - it just
reorders two function calls to ensure proper TAP header output.

✓ **No major side effects**: The change only affects test output
ordering, not functionality. The test logic remains identical.

✓ **No architectural changes**: This is a simple reordering of existing
calls with no structural changes.

✓ **Minimal risk**: The change is confined to the selftest code and
cannot affect kernel runtime behavior.

✓ **Important for testing infrastructure**: Correct TAP output is
crucial for test automation systems used in continuous integration and
validation of stable kernels.

### 4. Additional Considerations

- The commit message clearly describes the problem and solution
- The fix follows established kselftest patterns (header before any
  potential exits)
- This is a test-only change with zero impact on production kernel code
- The bug could cause false test results in automated systems that
  expect valid TAP output

This is an ideal candidate for stable backporting as it fixes a real bug
in test infrastructure with minimal risk and clear benefits for kernel
testing and validation.
