tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: add proc_do_large_bitmap() test case
The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU
watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports. Refer to watchdog_cpumask
and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on
these. When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than
PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get
incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set. This commit
implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a
bitmap size, as in the watchdog case. The bitmap is used to test the
bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap().
The next commit fixes this issue.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move proc_do_large_bitmap() export to EOF]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: use new target description for backward compatibility]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: augment test number to 50, ran into issues with bash string comparisons when testing up to 50 cases.]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: introduce and use verify_diff_proc_file() to use diff]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: use mktemp for tmp file]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: merge shell test and C code]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: commit log love]
[mcgrof@kernel.org: export proc_do_large_bitmap() to allow for the test
[mcgrof@kernel.org: check for the return value when writing to the proc file]
