The vfprintf test case require to open a temporary file to write, the
old memfd_create() method is perfect but has strong dependency on
MEMFD_CREATE and also TMPFS or HUGETLBFS (see fs/Kconfig):
config MEMFD_CREATE
def_bool TMPFS || HUGETLBFS
And from v6.2, MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL must be passed for the non-executable
memfd, otherwise, The kernel warning will be output to the test result
like this:
Running test 'vfprintf'
0 emptymemfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, pid=1 'init'
"" = "" [OK]
To avoid such warning and also to remove the MEMFD_CREATE dependency,
let's open a file from tmpfs directly.
The /tmp directory is used to detect the existing of tmpfs, if not
there, skip instead of fail.
And further, for pid == 1, the initramfs is loaded as ramfs, which can
be used as tmpfs, so, it is able to further remove TMPFS dependency too.

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 Restructured Text 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.
