Dmitry V. Levin eef9287108 selftests: do not macro-expand failed assertion expressions
[ Upstream commit b708a3cc9600390ccaa2b68a88087dd265154b2b ]

I've stumbled over the current macro-expand behaviour of the test
harness:

$ gcc -Wall -xc - <<'__EOF__'
TEST(macro) {
	int status = 0;
	ASSERT_TRUE(WIFSIGNALED(status));
}
TEST_HARNESS_MAIN
__EOF__
$ ./a.out
[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.macro
<stdin>:4:global.macro:Expected 0 (0) != (((signed char) (((status) & 0x7f) + 1) >> 1) > 0) (0)
global.macro: Test terminated by assertion
[     FAIL ] global.macro
[==========] 0 / 1 tests passed.
[  FAILED  ]

With this change the output of the same test looks much more
comprehensible:

[==========] Running 1 tests from 1 test cases.
[ RUN      ] global.macro
<stdin>:4:global.macro:Expected 0 (0) != WIFSIGNALED(status) (0)
global.macro: Test terminated by assertion
[     FAIL ] global.macro
[==========] 0 / 1 tests passed.
[  FAILED  ]

The issue is very similar to the bug fixed in glibc assert(3)
three years ago:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
