Subject: [PATCH RESEND v7 0/2] selftests/resctrl: Bug fix and optimization

Write_schemata() uses fprintf() to write a bitmask into a schemata file
inside resctrl FS. It checks fprintf() return value but it doesn't check
fclose() return value. Error codes from fprintf() such as write errors,
are buffered and flushed back to the user only after fclose() is executed
which means any invalid bitmask can be written into the schemata file.

Rewrite write_schemata() to use syscalls instead of stdio file
operations to avoid the buffering.

The resctrlfs.c defines functions that interact with the resctrl FS
while resctrl_val.c defines functions that perform measurements on
the cache. Run_benchmark() fits logically into the second file before
resctrl_val() that uses it.

Move run_benchmark() from resctrlfs.c to resctrl_val.c and remove
redundant part of the kernel-doc comment. Make run_benchmark() static
and remove it from the header file.

Patch series is based on [1] which is based on [2] which are based on
kselftest next branch.

Subject: [PATCH RESEND v7 1/2] selftests/resctrl: Fix schemata write error check

Writing bitmasks to the schemata can fail when the bitmask doesn't
adhere to constraints defined by what a particular CPU supports.
Some example of constraints are max length or having contiguous bits.
The driver should properly return errors when any rule concerning
bitmask format is broken.

Resctrl FS returns error codes from fprintf() only when fclose() is
called. Current error checking scheme allows invalid bitmasks to be
written into schemata file and the selftest doesn't notice because the
fclose() error code isn't checked.

Substitute fopen(), flose() and fprintf() with open(), close() and
write() to avoid error code buffering between fprintf() and fclose().

Remove newline character from the schema string after writing it to
the schemata file so it prints correctly before function return.

Pass the string generated with strerror() to the "reason" buffer so
the error message is more verbose. Extend "reason" buffer so it can hold
longer messages.

Subject: [PATCH RESEND v7 2/2] selftests/resctrl: Move run_benchmark() to a more fitting file

resctrlfs.c contains mostly functions that interact in some way with
resctrl FS entries while functions inside resctrl_val.c deal with
measurements and benchmarking.

run_benchmark() is located in resctrlfs.c even though it's purpose
is not interacting with the resctrl FS but to execute cache checking
logic.

Move run_benchmark() to resctrl_val.c just before resctrl_val() that
makes use of run_benchmark(). Make run_benchmark() static since it's
not used between multiple files anymore.

Remove return comment from kernel-doc since the function is type void.
