I'll fix these up; thanks for the suggestions!

This is the part that is failing and I don't know why.

clear the kernel event log:
	dmesg -c
trigger the kernel event:
	/bin/sh -c 'cat <(echo BUG) >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT'
dump the newly added event logs into a file (set -x doesn't report
redirection to /tmp/lkdtm-r5yZ7K):
	dmesg -c

It seems /tmp/lkdtm-r5yZ7K is empty?
