This patch is in linux-kselftest next for 4.17-rc1. I would rather revert the patch than fix it a this time. I knew there was a reason why Tim didn't use printf() in the first, I couldn't remember. I won't be sending 0081901af95f ("selftests: size call ksft_print_header() to print TAP header") for inclusion into 4.17-rc1 thanks, -- Shuah

Dropped the problem patch 0081901af95f ("selftests: size call ksft_print_header() to print TAP header") from linux-kselftest next. thanks again for finding the problem so quickly. -- Shuah

In a -ffreestanding environment without glibc, we shouldn't be able to call either getenv or printf. It seems that printf() happens to work fine, but it ends up using the glibc getenv(), which doesn't work unless we call the glibc _start() function first. Using _start() was originally meant as an optimization to reduce the memory consumption of the test program itself, in order to get a more accurate representation of the available RAM at system boot time. However, it causes more problems than it helps, especially when run from a shell script that also consumes some memory. get_size[2838]: segfault at ffffffffffffffd0 ip 000000000040538b sp 00007ffc41980668 error 5 in get_size[400000+b0000] audit: type=1701 audit(1521532923.838:4): auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 ses=2 subj=kernel pid=2838 comm=\"get_size\" exe=\"/opt/kselftests/next/size/get_size\" sig=11 res=1 get_size[2840]: segfault at ffffffffffffffd0 ip 000000000040538b sp 00007ffdace9b378 error 5 in get_size[400000+b0000] audit: type=1701 audit(1521532932.057:5): auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 ses=2 subj=kernel pid=2840 comm=\"get_size\" exe=\"/opt/kselftests/next/size/get_size\" sig=11 res=1 Rework to get_size test to use main (and printf) instead of _start.
