GSoC 2022: Week 7 report

The last week, some features have been implemented for the test runner, the most important one being the support for running tests without being privileged (root user). It is now possible to run tests which don’t require privileges and the runner will automatically skips those which need them (to create block/char files, or switch users for example). The bug which prevented automatic clean up of test files has been fixed.

As for the tests, tests for ETXTBSY have been written, and new functions have been added to the other error tests. Now, the rewrite supports more than 50% of the tests from the original test suite! The API for switching users is also being reworked, to limit the number of users needed.

Finally, the documentation now includes the supported command-line arguments and includes more information for the test suite users.
