Patch series "selftests: cachestat: fix run on older kernels", v2. I ran all kernel selftests on some test machine, and stumbled upon cachestat failing (among others). These patches fix the run on older kernels and when the current directory is on a tmpfs instance. This patch (of 2): As cachestat is a new syscall, it won't be available on older kernels, for instance those running on a development machine. At the moment the test reports all tests as "not ok" in this case. Test for the cachestat syscall availability first, before doing further tests, and bail out early with a TAP SKIP comment. This also uses the opportunity to add the proper TAP headers, and add one check for proper error handling (illegal file descriptor).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
