BusyBox's 'cmp' command doesn't support the '--bytes' parameter.
Some CIs -- i.e. LKFT -- use BusyBox and have the mptcp_join.sh test
failing [1] because their 'cmp' command doesn't support this '--bytes'
option:
cmp: unrecognized option '--bytes=1024'
BusyBox v1.35.0 () multi-call binary.
Usage: cmp [-ls] [-n NUM] FILE1 [FILE2]
Instead, 'head --bytes' can be used as this option is supported by
BusyBox. A temporary file is needed for this operation.
Because it is apparently quite common to use BusyBox, it is certainly
better to backport this fix to impacted kernels.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
