No need to zero init static variables, but really instead of doing the main() hack you should init this to a return value of a function. And have that function read the value.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. I agree we want to avoid reading the /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled file for every test. However, correct me where I'm wrong, if we want to have fips_enabled as a static global variable I don't think we can directly initialize it from the return value of a function. Could you clarify that, please?
Hm, I thought that worked, I must be misremembering. If it doesn't - let's steal the trick that the harness itself uses and put the init in a function decorated with __attribute__((constructor)).
