The sysfs variant names nested leaves, kernel/vmcoreinfo and
kernel/notes, while the proc one names files at the top of the
filesystem. Both enforcement tests grant the leaves and nothing else,
so in the sysfs case the lookup stops at /sys/kernel, which a fresh VE
cannot traverse, and every open answers ENOENT:
not ok 14 ve_perms.sysfs.enforce_allows
not ok 15 ve_perms.sysfs.enforce_denies
Grant x on each directory along the way, taken from the path the
variant already gives.
Fixes: 303ce49b7446 ("selftests/ve: add ve_perms test for proc and sysfs")

Either end of a vtty pair creates it, and the last close tears it down.
Race condition in older VZKernel vtty implementation allowed both sides
to decide they were the final one and call release_tty() twice, and a
master opening again while a teardown was in flight used to hand out a
reference to a tty_struct about to be freed. Either way, this caused
use-after-free. That issue was fixed in c5028cd61a69:
"ve/vtty: fix use-after-free on concurrent tty close and reopen"
Hammer both ends for ownership correctness & thread safety verification.
The original reproducer needed a few tens of minutes across a dozen
containers, where vzctl interaction with vtty subsystem was a small part
of the overall runtime, therefore it did not fire on every run. This test
opens and closes nothing but the pair, from both ends and without pause,
so the default stays in the tens of seconds and under the timeout of the
suite, and VE_VTTY_SECS or argv[1] allows to control this.
The test assumes the veid it picks is not in use by a running container:
ve_id_write() does not check that a veid is unique and the vtty map is
keyed by veid, so a clash would hand the test someone else's pair. The
108..200 range make_ve() uses, makes that unlikely on a test node.
