Subject: [PATCH]selftests/powerpc: skip tests for unavailable mitigations.
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2021 22:12:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <163941374362.36967.18016981579099073379.sendpatchset@1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa> (raw)
Mitigation patching test iterates over a set of mitigations irrespective
of whether a certain mitigation is supported/available in the kernel.
This causes following messages on a kernel where some mitigations
are unavailable:
Spawned threads enabling/disabling mitigations ...
cat: entry_flush: No such file or directory
cat: uaccess_flush: No such file or directory
Waiting for timeout ...
OK
This patch adds a check for available mitigations in the kernel.
