nit: Is it really needed to int them to 0? Because they should be 0 due the
default struct value, right?

Why? Is that due possible tst_brk() calls in tst_reserve_hugepages()?
(Which uses SAFE_* macros.) That would trigger Because there are tst_brk() calls before.

Also why not assign results->lib_pid = getpid() at the beginning of
tst_run_tcases() ?

Kind regards,
Petr
