kselftest/runner: allow to properly deliver signals to tests
While running seccomp_bpf, kill_after_ptrace() gets stuck if we run it via /usr/bin/timeout (that is the default), until the timeout expires. This is because /usr/bin/timeout is preventing to properly deliver signals to ptrace'd children (SIGSYS in this case). This problem can be easily reproduced by running: $ sudo make TARGETS=seccomp kselftest ... # [ RUN ] TRACE_syscall.skip_a# not ok 1 selftests: seccomp: seccomp_bpf # TIMEOUT The test is hanging at this point until the timeout expires and then it reports the timeout error. Prevent this problem by passing --foreground to /usr/bin/timeout, allowing to properly deliver signals to children processes.
