The selftests depend on using the shell exit code as a mean of
detecting the success or failure of test-binary executed. The
appropiate output "[PASS]" or "[FAIL]" in generated by
tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk.
Notice that the exit code is masked with 255. Thus, be careful if
using the number of errors as the exit code, as 256 errors would be
seen as a success.
There are two standard defined exit(3) codes:
/usr/include/stdlib.h
#define EXIT_FAILURE 1 /* Failing exit status. */
#define EXIT_SUCCESS 0 /* Successful exit status. */
Fix test_verifier.c to not use the negative value of variable
"results", but instead return EXIT_FAILURE.
Fix test_align.c and test_progs.c to actually use exit codes, before
they were always indicating success regardless of results.
