This is a test using the old API, so not the best example.

I don't know to be honest. It was removed in the new test API.

Possibly because there are multiple iterations of the test. Possibly
some paramters are changed between iterations.

Only way to find out is to look for tst_resm calls in the source code.

Note taht the new API output looks more like the following:

sh-5.2# ./bpf_prog07
tst_buffers.c:55: TINFO: Test is using guarded buffers
tst_taint.c:116: TCONF: Ignoring already set kernel warning taint
tst_test.c:1560: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s
bpf_common.c:17: TINFO: Raising RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to 10485760
tst_capability.c:29: TINFO: Dropping CAP_SYS_ADMIN(21)
tst_capability.c:29: TINFO: Dropping CAP_BPF(39)
bpf_common.c:39: TCONF: Hint: check also /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled
bpf_common.c:41: TCONF: bpf() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_BPF on this system: EPERM (1)

Summary:
passed   0
failed   0
broken   0
skipped  3
warnings 0

sh-5.2# ./bpf_prog01
tst_buffers.c:55: TINFO: Test is using guarded buffers
tst_test.c:1560: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s
bpf_common.c:17: TINFO: Raising RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to 10485760
bpf_common.c:114: TPASS: Loaded program
bpf_prog01.c:95: TPASS: val = 1
...

So the format is like:

<file_name>:<line>: <ttype>: <message>
