Subject: [PATCH 0/2] selftests: harness: refactor __constructor_order


This series refactors __constructor_order because
__constructor_order_last() is unneeded.

BTW, the comments in kselftest_harness.h was confusing to me.

As far as I tested, all arches executed constructors in the forward
order.

[test code]

  #include <stdio.h>

  static int x;

  static void __attribute__((constructor)) increment(void)
  {
           x += 1;
  }

  static void __attribute__((constructor)) multiply(void)
  {
          x *= 2;
  }

  int main(void)
  {
          printf("foo = %d\n", x);
          return 0;
  }

It should print 2 for forward order systems, 1 for reverse order systems.

I executed it on some archtes by using QEMU. I always got 2.

  selftests: harness: remove unneeded __constructor_order_last()
  selftests: harness: rename __constructor_order for clarification
