tools/testing/selftests/ipc/msgque.c: improve error handling when not running as root

2014-07-03T16:21:54Z

The test fails in the middle when it is not run as root while accessing /proc/sys/kernel/msg_next_id. Changed it to check for root at the beginning of the test and exit if not root.

on-off-test uses "$UID != 0" to test for root, but $UID is a construct specific to bash. Using /bin/sh that isn't bash results in the following error (due to the "$UID" part expanding to nothing): ./on-off-test.sh: 9: [: !=: unexpected operator Change Makefile to use bash instead.

selftests/powerpc: Use the test harness for the TM DSCR test

2014-06-24T04:29:41Z

This gives us standardised success/failure output and also handles killing the test if it runs forever (2 minutes). Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here are the remaining bits I was mentioning earlier. Mostly bug fixes and new selftests from Michael (yay !). He also removed the WSP platform and A2 core support which were dead before release, so less clutter.
