This adds a new test case to the ksm functional tests to make sure that
the KSM setting is inherited by the child process when doing a
fork/exec.

It's not a test itself, so it shouldn't be run when running all tests. See below.

Can we use the define from a header? (PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE)

I was wondering if we could simply exec() ourself (same binary), but pass a special cmdline argument. Then you don't have to build a separate binary.

Just special-case in main() on that argument and perform this check.

Add a return; so you can simplify the code below (no need for the "else")

+	} else {
+		if (waitpid(child_pid, &status, 0) > 0) {
+			if (WIFEXITED(status)) {
+				status = WEXITSTATUS(status);
+				if (status) {

+				return;
+			}
+		} else {
+			ksft_test_result_fail("waitpid() failed\n");
+			return;
+		}
+	}
+
+	ksft_test_result_pass("PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE value is inherited\n");

It's probably the cleanest to disable PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE again when returning form this function, so the other tests have a clean slate.
