[PATCH nolibc 08/14] selftests/nolibc: skip the chroot_root and link_dir tests when not privileged

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Mar 20 2023 - 21:25:03 EST


From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>

These two tests always fail when the program is started natively as an
unprivileged user, and require the user to carefully check the output
of "make run-user" and ignore them.

Let's add an euid check and condition these two tests to euid==0. Now
the test case stops needlessly reporting failures. E.g.:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/nolibc run-user
...
CC nolibc-test
123 test(s) passed.
