The test exercises the syscall based map operations by creating a pidfd
for the current process.
For verifying kernel / LSM functionality, the test implements a simple
MAC policy which denies an executable from unlinking itself. The LSM
program bprm_committed_creds sets a task_local_storage with a pointer to
the inode. This is then used to detect if the task is trying to unlink
itself in the inode_unlink LSM hook.
The test copies /bin/rm to /tmp and executes it in a child thread with
the intention of deleting itself. A successful test should prevent the
the running executable from deleting itself.
The bpf programs are also updated to call bpf_spin_{lock, unlock} to
trigger the verfier checks for spin locks.
The temporary file is cleaned up later in the test.

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.
