WEXITSTATUS consists of the least significant 8 bits of the status
argument, so we should convert the value to signed char if we have valid
negative exit codes. And the return value of test->func() contains
negative values:
enum {
TEST_OK = 0,
TEST_FAIL = -1,
TEST_SKIP = -2,
};
Before this patch:
$ perf test -v 1
...
test child finished with 254
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!
After this patch:
$ perf test -v 1
...
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Skip
