Commit Message

Marcos Paulo de Souza June 30, 2022, 2:12 p.m. UTC 
It allows writing more complex tests, for example, an userspace C code
that would use the livepatched kernel code. As a bonus it allows to use
"gen_tar" to export the livepatch selftests, rebuild the modules by
running make in selftests/livepatch directory and simplifies the process
of creating and debugging new selftests.

It keeps the ability to execute the tests by running the shell scripts,
like "test-livepatch.sh", but beware that the kernel modules
might not be up-to-date.

Remove 'modprobe --dry-run' call as the modules will be built before
running the tests. Also remove the TEST_LIVEPATCH Kconfig since the
modules won't be build based on a Kconfig.

Adjust functions.sh to call insmod and fix the check_result strings to
reflect the change.
