dependent KUnit test.
+
+KUnit debugfs representation
+============================
+When kunit test suites are initialized, they create an associated directory
+in /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test-suite>. The directory contains two files
+
+- results: "cat results" displays results of last test run
+- run: "cat run" runs the test suite and displays the results
+
+Thus to re-run all currently loaded suites and display results, we can do this:
+
+```
+$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/*/run
+```
+
+The debugfs representation is primarily of use when kunit test suites are
+run in a native environment, either as modules or builtin. Having a way
+to display results like this is valuable as otherwise results can be
+intermixed with other events in dmesg output.
