Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/bpf: Print reason when a tester could not run a program

From: Florian Lehner <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2020 20:45:31 +0100

Commit 8184d44c9a57 ("selftests/bpf: skip verifier tests for unsupported
program types") added a check to skip unsupported program types. As
bpf_probe_prog_type can change errno, do_single_test should save it before
printing a reason why a supported BPF program type failed to load.
