Re: [PATCH] Add Selftest to test fork() syscall

This test verifies the correct behavior of the fork() system call, which creates a child process by duplicating the parent process.

The test checks the following:

• The child PID returned by fork() is present in /proc.
• The child PID is different from the parent PID.
• The memory allocated to a variable in the child process is independent of the parent process.

Short log should incude the subsystem:

e.g: selftests: add test for fork() syscall

In anycase, I don't see any value to adding this test. fork() is a heavily used system call.
