Patch series "selftests/mm fixes for arm64", v3. Given my on-going work on large anon folios and contpte mappings, I decided it would be a good idea to start running mm selftests to help guard against regressions. However, it soon became clear that I couldn't get the suite to run cleanly on arm64 with a vanilla v6.5-rc1 kernel (perhaps I'm just doing it wrong??), so got stuck in a rabbit hole trying to debug and fix all the issues. Some were down to misconfigurations, but I also found a number of issues with the tests and even a couple of issues with the kernel. This patch (of 8): The selftests runner pipes the test program's stdout to tap_prefix. The presence of the pipe means that the test program sets its stdout to be fully buffered (as aposed to line buffered when directly connected to the terminal). The block buffering means that there is often content in the buffer at fork() time, which causes the output to end up duplicated. This was causing problems for mm:cow where test results were duplicated 20-30x. Solve this by using `stdbuf`, when available to force the test program to use line buffered mode. This means previously printf'ed results are flushed out of the program before any fork(). Additionally, explicitly set line buffer mode in ksft_print_header(), which means that all test programs that use the ksft framework will benefit even if stdbuf is not present on the system.
