Public bug reported:
Like bug 1812352
In the ubuntu_kernel_selftests, the skipped test will uses return code 4
(KSFT_SKIP).
However the code to handle this non-zero return code was not implemented
in the kselftest framework. And this will generate some false-positives
results as those skipped tests were treated as a failure.
In X-KVM kernel, test_user_copy.sh test in user will fail because of this:
user: module test_user_copy is not found [SKIP]
not ok 1..1 selftests: test_user_copy.sh [FAIL]
