This is a very open question but what would the expected behavior of 
tests that use tunables be when a system-wide policy is present?

Like for example some rseq tests assume that the "glibc.pthread.rseq" 
tunable is on by default and some other tests will explicitly use the 
tunable to disable the feature. If the test suite runs on a system that 
has a system-wide policy enabling or disabling "glibc.pthread.rseq" with 
overridability set to "-" should those tests be skipped or failed?

Cheers,

Michael
