    kselftest/runner: allow to properly deliver signals to tests · 651e0d88
    Andrea Righi authored
    While running seccomp_bpf, kill_after_ptrace() gets stuck if we run it
    via /usr/bin/timeout (that is the default), until the timeout expires.
    
    This is because /usr/bin/timeout is preventing to properly deliver
    signals to ptrace'd children (SIGSYS in this case).
    
    This problem can be easily reproduced by running:
    
     $ sudo make TARGETS=seccomp kselftest
     ...
    
     # [ RUN      ] TRACE_syscall.skip_a#
     not ok 1 selftests: seccomp: seccomp_bpf # TIMEOUT
    
    The test is hanging at this point until the timeout expires and then it
    reports the timeout error.
    
    Prevent this problem by passing --foreground to /usr/bin/timeout,
    allowing to properly deliver signals to children processes.
