There are regression tests that fail for known reasons such as the binutils
or kernel version being too old. This can be confusing to a user who reports
a FAIL from "make func" only to find out it is expected. This patchset can
be used to tell a user when a FAIL is an expected fail. It is broken up
into three patches.
The first patch introduces the means for calling a verification script. The
second patch adds verification that an ELFMAP failure is due to an old
version of binutils. The final patch runs a verification script of the
version of ld for linkhuge tests instead of skipping them.
There are other known failures that could be accounted for now such as
mprotect() failing due to an old kernel. These can be handled over time.
Changelog since V1
o Use {} around variable names in bash
o Improved message on system linker scripts that use SPECIAL
o Correct exit code in verifyresults-linkhuge
