However, you should note that kselftest_harness.h is currently assums that it will be included in userspace programs. This is most obviously seen if you look closely at the functions defined in the header files which makes calls to fork(), abort() and fprintf(). So Kunit can't reuse kselftest_harness.h unmodified. And whether or not the actual implementation of the header file can be reused or refactored, making the unit tests use the same or similar syntax would be a good thing.
