The static `mismatch` array is zeroed once by SAFE_CALLOC in setup(),
but run() only ever sets elements to 1 and never resets them. When the
test is invoked with `-i N`, stale entries from a previous iteration
survive into the next one.

For example, if CPU 2 mismatches on iteration 1 but matches on
iteration 2, the summary loop still prints "cpu2: MISMATCH" while the
verdict says TPASS. Adding a memset at the top of run() would fix it:

    memset(mismatch, 0, nproc * sizeof(int));

Per-CPU mismatches are reported with TINFO and the actual TFAIL is
deferred to the end of run() via the `status` flag. LTP convention is
to report results directly where they are determined. Could the
mismatch be reported as TFAIL inline (dropping the `status` flag and
the `mismatch` array), with TPASS emitted at the end only when no
mismatch was found?

Verdict: Needs revision
