Commit Message

Tests using the .save_restore functionality currently cannot run
without root privileges at all because the test will write
into the path at least at the end and trigger error, even when
the config paths are flagged as optional.

Introduce new tst_path_val field for flags and replace path prefix flags
with bit flags. Also introduce new flags to control handling of read/write
errors and read-only sysfiles and rewrite save_restore implementation
accordingly.

Signed-off-by: Martin Doucha <mdoucha@suse.cz>
---

Changes since v1:
- TST_SR_IF_ACCESS => TST_SR_COND_ACCESS
- TST_SR_IGNORE_RO => TST_SR_SKIP_RO
- TST_SR_IGNORE_MISSING => TST_SR_SKIP_MISSING (to match the IGNORE_RO change)

Changes since v2:
- Fixed save_restore example in C Test API docs

Changes since v3:
- Renamed flags to match tst_brk() constants
- Added TERRNO to tst_res(TINFO) messages in tst_sys_conf.c
- Added save_restore flags to newly added hugemmap08

I've removed Jan Stancek's ack because the changes are rather significant.
Please review again.

I'll send a follow-up patchset to replace setup() code which requires root
privileges without good reason after this patch gets merged. Here I've kept
test changes to the minimum needed to maintain current save_restore behavior
with the new flags system. The only change in behavior is the use of read-only
handling flags where it's clear that the change is desired.

Though a few tests should get closer attention during review:
- all KSM tests
- add_key05
- migrate_pages02

If I remmeber correctly I did ask for this to become a macro or pass
__LINE__ so that we have a correct lines in the error output and you
haven't commented on that.

Otherwise the rest looks good to me.

Right, sorry, I forgot about the line numbers. I'll send v5 shortly.
