This adds a new ksm (kernel samepage merging) test to evaluate the new
smart scan feature. It allocates a page and fills it with 'a'
characters. It captures the pages_skipped counter, waits for a few
iterations and captures the pages_skipped counter again. The expectation
is that over 50% of the page scans are skipped (There is only one page
that has KSM enabled and it gets scanned during each iteration and it
cannot be de-duplicated).

I guess that it would be more user friendly to check if a process with
such name is running and at least print a warning, or even skip the
test.

I suppose that we can add a library function that would loop over
/proc/*/comm and return true if we find a match.

Does the test fork a child? I do not see any place in the code that
would do so, did I miss something?

Unfortunately SAFE_FILE_SCANF quits on missing file and
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped is not on kernel < 6.7.

safe_file_vprintf() which SAFE_FILE_SCANF() internally uses does not support any
flag to quit with TCONF instead TBROK when /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped does
not exists.

We could use access() in setup function, but another line in .save_restore will
help:

{PATH_KSM "pages_skipped", NULL, TST_SR_TCONF}

I was going to merge this (with minor cleanup), but the only remaining issue is
that we allow to test run repeatedly via -iN:

# ./ksm07 -i2
tst_test.c:1574: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s
ksm07.c:73: TINFO: KSM merging...
ksm_helper.c:36: TINFO: ksm daemon takes 1s to run two full scans
ksm07.c:88: TINFO: stop KSM.
ksm07.c:99: TPASS: smart_scan skipped more than 50% of the pages.
ksm07.c:73: TINFO: KSM merging...
ksm_helper.c:36: TINFO: ksm daemon takes 1s to run two full scans
ksm07.c:88: TINFO: stop KSM.
ksm07.c:97: TFAIL: not enough pages have been skipped by smart_scan.

I'm confused, how to reset KSM to be able to run the test more times?

This is not needed, done by check_child_status() in
lib/tst_test.c.

Why this wrapper? "verify_" as a pattern name is not a must.

We have PATH_KSM definition, lets use it.

I was going to merge your patch with following changes.
We just need solve -i2 issue.

Ah, I also pointed out this is useless, but forget to point out that
.forks_child = 1 should be also removed.

I don't think this works correctly. I see a warning:

tst_sys_conf.c:144: TINFO: Failed to open FILE '/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped'

The difference to the other ksm files is, that this is not writeable.

I have a solution for this: we need another madvise call at the end. I'll send
it with the next version.
