Subject: selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Resolve BASE_DIR with pwd -P
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a82e076f4a0c084b2f5470db31dd9282ba3fcbb2;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Resolve BASE_DIR with pwd -P

run_kselftest.sh only needs to canonicalize the directory containing the
script itself. Use shell-native path resolution for that by changing into
the directory and calling pwd -P.

This avoids depending on either realpath or readlink -f while still
producing a physical absolute path for BASE_DIR.
