== SRU Justification ==
The psock_tpacket test will need to access /proc/kallsyms, this would
require the kernel config CONFIG_KALLSYMS to be enabled first.
It causes the test to fail with the following error on our KVM kernels:
test: TPACKET_V1 with PACKET_RX_RING open: No such file or directory
Apart from adding CONFIG_KALLSYMS to the net/config file here, check the
file existence to determine if we can run this test will be helpful to
avoid a false-positive test result when testing it directly with the
following commad against a kernel that have CONFIG_KALLSYMS disabled:
make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net run_tests
== Fix ==
* ff95bf28c234 ("selftests/net: skip psock_tpacket test if KALLSYMS was
not enabled")
This patch can be cherry-picked into Disco, but needs to be backported
for X/B as they don't have an up-to-date config list.
== Test ==
Tested on KVM kernels and this patch works as expected.
== Regression Potential ==
Low, changes limited to the testing tool.
