Kselftest framework currently treats all non-zero return codes from tests as failures. When tests are skipped with non-zero return code, because of unmet dependencies and/or unsupported configuration, it reports them as failed. This will lead to too many false negatives even on the tests that couldn't be run. This patch series fixes the problem by adding SKIP handling: The common RUN_TESTS and EMIT_TESTS functions are changed to test for SKIP=4 return from tests. This change enables the framework and tests that return SKIP=4 will report SKIP, other continue to report FAIL/PASS. KSFT_SKIP has been changed to report Skip code of 4 instead of KSFT_PASS to clearly differentiate the skipped tests. I am working on Test changes to report SKIP instead FAIL/PASS when they get skipped. I will be sending them out later this week. In addition, I made changes to improve the reporting and cleaned up both RUN_TESTS and EMIT_TESTS define to remove duplicate test output strings.
