No objection to this patch, but perhaps the "msg" functions could either
be variable arg macros, or just a printk() like function that can take
the string and anything you want to send to it.

So this could be:
		ksft_exit_fail_msg("ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));

Anyway, just a thought, might make conversions a lot easier, no need for
intermediate buffers.
