Thank you all.

If it is possible, I think it is better to rebase linux-kselftest next
to do the following things sequentially.

(1) Apply patch "selftests/clone3: Fix broken test under !CONFIG_TIME_NS"
which is sent on 11 Jul 2023.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/1689066814-13295-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn/

(2) Squash the changes in patch "selftests/clone3: Skip new time 
namespace test when unsupported"

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20231020-kselftest-clone3-time-ns-v1-1-31a17e072a05@kernel.org/

into patch "selftests/clone3: Report descriptive test names", and then 
apply it.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20231018-kselftest-clone3-output-v1-1-12b7c50ea2cf@kernel.org/

This can make the log more clear. Anyway, I am fine with either way.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
