Subject: [PATCH bpf v3 2/2] selftests/bpf: fix and consolidate d_path LSM regression test
Add a regression test for bpf_d_path() when invoked from an LSM program.
The test attaches to the bprm_check_security hook, calls bpf_d_path() on
the binary being executed, and verifies that a simple prefix comparison on
the returned pathname behaves correctly after the fix in patch 1.
To avoid nondeterminism, the LSM program now filters based on the
expected PID, which is populated from userspace before the test binary is
executed. This prevents unrelated processes that also trigger the
bprm_check_security LSM hook from overwriting test results. Parent and
child processes are synchronized through a pipe to ensure the PID is set
before the child execs the test binary.
Per review feedback, the new LSM coverage is merged into the existing
d_path selftest rather than adding new prog_tests/ or progs/ files. The
loop that checks the pathname prefix now uses bpf_for(), which is a
verifier-friendly way to express a small, fixed-iteration loop, and the
temporary /tmp/bpf_d_path_test binary is removed in the test cleanup
path.
