[LTP] [LTP PATCH v3 0/1] Add some memory page soft-offlining control

[william.roche@oracle.com]

From: William Roche <william.roche@oracle.com>

Thank you very much Richard for your feedback about my previous patch version
proposal.
In this new version I made the changes you suggested:

- Changed the signal handler to avoid using unsafe code like "tst_res", and use
  a variable (with its mutex and cv) to inform an additional thread to end the
  test on a SIGBUS. The signal handler doesn't return to avoid a loop of SIGBUS
  delivery.

- Changed the code to use SAFE_MMAP and SAFE_MUNMAP

- The find_in_file() function could not be removed as I use it to verify if the
  hwpoison_inject module is already loaded or not, but I simplified it.

- And I'm now using getmntent() code to identify the debugfs mount point on the
  machine, and open the <debug_fs>/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn location.

Compile and check-madvise11 are clean, code tested on x86 and ARM.

Cheers,
William.
