This test would erroneously fail the /proc/$PID/maps case if vsyscall=xonly since the existing probe of the vsyscall page only succeeds if the process has read permissions. Fix this by checking for either no vsyscall mapping OR an execute-only vsyscall mapping in the case were probing the vsyscall page segfaults.
Does this fix include skipping the test with a clear message that says why test is skipped?

Doesn't look like it skips the test though?
Instead of skipping the test, it changes the passing condition to accept both cases of an unmapped vsyscall page and an x-only vsyscall page. Differentiating between these two cases without relying on /proc/$PID/maps would involve both checking the kernel command line for vsyscall=xonly and having a special ifdef block for CONFIG_VSYSCALL_XONLY, so accepting both as passing conditions seems like a simpler solution.
It depends on the goal of the test. Is the test looking to see if the probe fails with insufficient permissions, then you are changing the test to not check for that condition.
The goal of the test is to validate the output of /proc/$PID/maps, and the memory probe is only needed as setup to determine what the expected output should be. This used to be sufficient, but now it can no longer fully disambiguate it with the introduction of vsyscall=xonly. The solution proposed here is to disambiguate it by also checking the length read from /proc/$PID/maps.
I would say in this case, the right approach would be to leave the test as is and report expected fail and add other cases.
The goal being adding more coverage and not necessarily opt for a simple solution.
What does it mean to report a test as expected fail? Is this a mechanism unique to kselftest? I agree adding another test case would work, but I'm unsure how to do it within the framework of kselftest. Ideally, there would be separate test cases for vsyscall=none, vsyscall=emulate, and vsyscall=xonly, but these options can be toggled both in the kernel config and on the kernel command line, meaning (to the best of my knowledge) these test cases would have to be built conditionally against the conflig options and also parse the command line for the 'vsyscall' option.
Thanks, Dylan
