[LTP] [PATCH v6 2/2] coredump02: Verify ELF structure and notes

[Li Wang]

Hi Andrea,

Overall the test methodology looks good, with just a few minor
code cleanup points below.

> +
> +	if (len >= PATTERN_MAX)

Splitting the core file parsing into a separate test is fine.
For the duplicated code, there are two approaches - I'm okay
with either.

1. create a seperate coredump_common.h

	#cat coredump_common.h
	...

	#ifndef COREDUMP_COMMON_H
	#define COREDUMP_COMMON_H
	
	#include <elf.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	
	#include "tst_test.h"
	#include "lapi/prctl.h"
	
	#define PATTERN_MAX 128
	
	static char cwd[PATH_MAX];
	
	static void set_pattern(const char *fmt, ...)
	{
		// ...
	}
	
	static pid_t crash_child(void)
	{
		// ...
	}
	
	static void coredump_setup(void)
	{
		struct rlimit rl = {RLIM_INFINITY, RLIM_INFINITY};
	
		SAFE_SETRLIMIT(RLIMIT_CORE, &rl);
		SAFE_PRCTL(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0);
		SAFE_GETCWD(cwd, sizeof(cwd));
	}
	
	#endif /* COREDUMP_COMMON_H */


2. Merge coredump02 method into coredump01 with use tcnt=3.

	static void run(unsigned int n)
	{
		switch (n) {
		case 0:
			verify_file_pattern_specifiers();
			break;
		case 1:
			verify_file_pattern_content();
			break;
		case 2:
			verify_pipe_pattern();
			break;
		}
	}
	
	static struct tst_test test = {
		.test = run,
		.tcnt = 3,
		// ...
	};
