Pull config-bisect changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The big change here is the rewrite of config-bisect. The old way
never worked properly as it assumed the bad config was a subset of the
good config, and just found the config that would break the build.
The new way does a diff of the bad config verses the good config and
makes the similar until it finds that one config works and the other
does not and reports the config that makes that difference. The two
configs do not need to be related. It is much more useful now:
* tag 'ktest-v3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
ktest: Update documentation on config_bisect
ktest: Add the config bisect manual back
ktest: Remove unused functions
ktest: Put back in the CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK
ktest: Rewrite the config-bisect to actually work
ktest: Some cleanup for improving readability
ktest: add 2nd parameter of run_command() to set the redirect target file
Kenton Varda <kenton@sandstorm.io> discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.
Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed
nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared. It was also discovered that
the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed.
The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using
default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed.
To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged
remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times.

The perf_evlist__prepare_workload() method works by forking and then
waiting on a fd that must be written to to allow the workload to be
exec()ed.
But if the tool calling it fails to, say, set up the events with which
it wants to sample the workload for, it will not call
perf_evlist__start_workload(), but even in this case the workload ended
up running:
[acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
workload ends up running, it should not...
[acme@zoo linux]$
So check if at least one byte was written before letting exec() be
called.
Now the expected behaviour:
[acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted

Resolved several minor errors in prepare_config() and made some additional improvements.
Earlier, the risk of file stream that was not closed. Misuse of strncpy, and the use of strncmp with strlen that makes it pointless.
I also check that sscanf has been successful, otherwise continue to the next line. And minimized the use of magic numbers.
This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

Although we expect some small discrepancies for very large counts, we
seem to be able to count up to 64 billion instructions without too much
skew, so do so.
Also switch to using decimals for the instruction counts. This just
makes it easier to visually compare the expected vs actual values, as
well as the raw result from instructions.

There is at least one bug in core_busy_loop(), we use r0, but it's
not in the clobber list. We were getting away with this it seems but
that was luck.
It's also fishy to be touching the stack, even if we do it below the
stack pointer. It seems we get away with it, but looking at the
generated code that may just be luck.
So move it into assembler, do all the stack handling by hand. We create
a stack frame to save the non-volatiles in, so we can muck around with
them.

Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that
from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as
many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes.
For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so
we can automatically catch build failures.
We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to
keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.
