From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.50 commit d91638f70e81899e29cd940b0ca2237b23097273 bugzilla: 174522 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DNFY Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 04831e892b41618914b2123ae3b4fa77252e8656 upstream. Some environments do not set $SHELL when running tests. There's no need to use $SHELL here anyway, since "cat" can be used to receive any delivered signals from the kernel. Additionally avoid using bash-isms in the command, and record stderr for posterity.
