    selftests/powerpc: Skip test instead of failing · eafcd8e3
    Breno Leitao authored
    Current core-pkey selftest fails if the test runs without privileges to
    write into the core pattern file (/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern). This
    causes the test to fail and give the impression that the subsystem being
    tested is broken, when, in fact, the test is being executed without the
    proper privileges. This is the current error:
    
    	test: core_pkey
    	tags: git_version:v4.19-3-g9e3363be9bce-dirty
    	Error writing to core_pattern file: Permission denied
    	failure: core_pkey
    
    This patch simply skips this test if it runs without the proper privileges,
    avoiding this undesired failure.
