I'm even more confused now. I thought checksec didn't work in a
cross-compiled situation. Could you clarify ?

Perhaps this function should also do the json.loads and return only
out["file"] to avoid duplicating this everywhere in the below classes ?

Also, using inheritance would be better here:

class TestHardeningBase(infra.basetest.BRTest):
	config = """
... the base defconfig ...
"""

	checksec_files = ["usr/sbin/lighttpd", "bin/busybox"]

	def checksec_run(self, target_file):
		filepath = os.path.join(self.builddir, "target", target_file)
		...

class TestHardeningRelRo(TestHardeningBase):
	config = TestHardeningBase.config +
"""
...
"""

	def test_run():
		for f in checksec_files:
			out = self.checksec_run(f)
			self.assertEqual(out["relro"], "full")
			self.assertEqual(out["pie"], "yes")

and ditto for the other tests.

Best regards,

Thomas
