Steve,

  selftests/verification: Add initial RV tests (2025-10-20 12:48:20 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of changes:

* Adapt the ftracetest script to be run from a different folder, this
  uses the already existing OPT_TEST_DIR but extends it further to run
  independent tests, then add an --rv flag to allow using the script for
  testing RV (mostly) independently on ftrace.
* A bug causing kernel panic when reading enabled_monitors was reported,
  change callbacks functions to always use list_head iterators and by
  doing so, fix the wrong pointer that was leading to the panic.
* The rtapp/pagefault monitor relies on the MMU to be present
  (pagefaults exist) but that was not enforced via kconfig, leading to
  potential build errors on systems without an MMU. Add that kconfig
  dependency.
* Add basic RV selftests in selftests/verification to validate things
  like available/enabled monitors and reactors. This could have caught
  the bug introducing kernel panic solved above. Tests use ftracetest.

Is the above a bug fix? It looks like it's something that should be added
during the merge window.

Looks like a bug fix that should go in now.

Not really a bug fix but tests can usually go in with the fixes to bugs
they now detect. Is this dependent on the first patch?

My question is still on that first change. Can that wait till the merge
window? If so, can you remove it from this pull request?
