bah.  This sort of Makefile construct is a wonderful source of patch
rejects and fixups.  I'll covert this to

Problem.  When I apply the patch, ./efivarfs.sh doesn't have execute
permissions.  I don't think there's a way of (reliably?) transporting
this with patch and diff.

So we should explicitly invoke sh or /bin/sh or $SHELL or whatever
here.  This problem is common to several Makefiles in tools/testing/selftests/

I'll do this for now:

--- a/tools/testing/selftests/efivarfs/Makefile~selftests-add-tests-for-efivarfs-fix
+++ a/tools/testing/selftests/efivarfs/Makefile
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ test_objs = open-unlink

+	@/bin/sh ./efivarfs.sh || echo "efivarfs selftests: [FAIL]"
 
 clean:
 	rm -f $(test_objs)

but I'm not sure I did it right :(


The general ruleset for selftests is: do as much as you can if you're not
root and don't take too long and don't break the build on any
architecture and don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if
your feature is unconfigured.

Does this code pass all that?
