That's an interesting idea. I think it would be difficult to figure out exactly where to draw the line of what goes in there and what needs to be built specific to a test a priori. Of course, that leads into the biggest problem in general, needed to know what I need to build to test the thing that I want to test. Nevertheless, I could definitely imagine that being useful in a lot of cases. > > diff --git a/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000000000..bba7ea7ca1869 > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py ... > > + def make(self, jobs): > > + try: > > + subprocess.check_output([ > > + 'make', > > + 'ARCH=um', > > + '--jobs=' + str(jobs)]) > > Perhaps as a future extension: > > It would be nice if we could set an O= here to keep the source tree > pristine. > > In fact I might even suggest that this should always be set so that the > unittesting could live along side an existing kernel build? : > > O ?= $KBUILD_SRC/ > O := $(O)/kunittest/$(ARCH)/build I agree with that. It would be pretty annoying to run a unit test and have it mess up your .config and force you to rebuild everything else. (I have actually done this to myself a couple of times...) Cheers
