The kselftest framework uses the string logged when a test result is reported as the unique identifier for a test, using it to track test results between runs. The cow test completely fails to follow this pattern, it runs test functions repeatedly with various parameters with each result report from those functions being a string logging an error message which is fixed between runs. Since the code already logs each test uniquely before it starts refactor to also print this to a buffer, then use that name as the test result. This isn't especially pretty but is relatively straightforward and is a great help to tooling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
