open_path_or_exit() is used for '/dev/kvm', '/dev/sev', and '/sys/module/%s/parameters/%s' and skipping test when the entry is missing is completely reasonable. Other errors, however, may indicate a real issue which is easy to miss. E.g. when 'hyperv_features' test was entering an infinite loop the output was: ./hyperv_features Testing access to Hyper-V specific MSRs 1..0 # SKIP - /dev/kvm not available (errno: 24) and this can easily get overlooked. Keep ENOENT case 'special' for skipping tests and fail when open() results in any other errno.

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.
