Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-5.4-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest
Pull Kselftest fixes from Shuah Khan:
"Fixes for existing tests and the framework.
Cristian Marussi's patches add the ability to skip targets (tests) and
exclude tests that didn't build from run-list. These patches improve
the Kselftest results. Ability to skip targets helps avoid running
tests that aren't supported in certain environments. As an example,
bpf tests from mainline aren't supported on stable kernels and have
dependency on bleeding edge llvm. Being able to skip bpf on systems
that can't meet this llvm dependency will be helpful.
Kselftest can be built and installed from the main Makefile. This
change help simplify Kselftest use-cases which addresses request from
users.
Kees Cook added per test timeout support to limit individual test
run-time"
