There's nothing in this patch limiting this to UML. Only patch 1 does
that and I would remove that depends. I'd guess most folks will want
to run under something other than UML. DRM for instance (though the
virtual KMS stuff may work in UML?).

Plus you want to make sure this all builds with allmodconfig for x86
(or ARM) because those get the most (and quickest) compile coverage.

Since this is all UML why not source it from arch/um/Kconfig instead?

Not that one, but the abort thing segv thing is, eventually.
To support other architectures we'd need to make a wrapper to that
hack which Brendan added, and then allow each os to implement
its own call, and add an asm-generic helper.

Are you volunteering to add the x86 hook?

I've not looked into why this is needed, but can't you make the abort
support optional and arches can select it when they support it. At
least before, the DT unittests didn't need this to run and shouldn't
depend on it after converting to kunit.

Its why I have asked for it to be properly documented. The patches in no
way illustrate *why* such thing is done. And if we are going to
potentially have other archs do something similar best to make it
explicit.

I think Rob is referring to the description for this patch. This patch
previously did what you suggested, Luis, (source the KUnit kconfig
from arch/um/) but Kees asked me to change it to how it is now (which
probably makes sense if we are saying KUnit is not intended to be tied
to a particular architecture, no?), and I forgot to update the commit
description, sorry.

Yeah, I should better document it. I should also probably not include
any UML specific header files in kunit/test.h; that seems like I am
asking to get more tightly coupled if I am not careful about exactly
what things I depend on.

I think Luis is right, I need to add a wrapper around the features
needed for the hack to support abort() and then write a UML specific
implementation.

For the asm-generic case, we could probably just have abort() call
BUG(), with that KUnit should work on most architectures, albeit with
pretty reduced functionality.

Fair enough.
