Pull Kselftest fixes from Shuah Khan:
 "Important fixes to several tests and documentation clarification on
  running mainline kselftest on stable releases. A few notable fixes:

   - fix kselftest run hang due to child processes that haven't been
     terminated. Fix signals all child processes

   - fix false pass/fail results from vdso_test_abi, openat2, mincore

   - build failures when using -j (multiple jobs) option

   - exec test build failure due to incorrect build rule for a run-time
     created "pipe"

   - zram test fixes related to interaction with zram-generator to make
     sure zram test to coordinate deleted with zram-generator

   - zram test compression ratio calculation fix and skipping
     max_comp_streams.

   - increasing rtc test timeout

   - cpufreq test to write test results to stdout which will necessary
     on automated test systems"

+Kselftest from mainline can be run on older stable kernels. Running tests
+from mainline offers the best coverage. Several test rings run mainline
+kselftest suite on stable releases. The reason is that when a new test
+gets added to test existing code to regression test a bug, we should be
+able to run that test on an older kernel. Hence, it is important to keep
+code that can still test an older kernel and make sure it skips the test
+gracefully on newer releases.

 You can find additional information on Kselftest framework, how to
 write new tests using the framework on Kselftest wiki:
