KUnit and kselftest both use the TAP format. Well, we both use slight
variations on the TAP format. Nevertheless, we are both unifying
around a common variation of TAP called KTAP[1]. To my knowledge,
neither kselftest or KUnit fully obey the new KTAP spec, but I believe
we are both working toward full compliance (as of 5.10 KUnit output
should be fully compliant[2]), and both are pretty close.

When I say both kselftest and KUnit are pretty close to obeying KTAP,
I mean that for the purpose of Arpitha's change here which we are
discussing, the sample segment of output that she shared as the new
output of this test *is fully compliant with KTAP and is not expected
to change any time soon*. Additionally, most, but not all, of
kselftest's tests are compliant as well.

The main visual difference between KUnit and kselftest TAP output
comes from two things: kselftests tend to make heavy use of diagnostic
lines (basically log lines which serve to communicate arbitrary
unstructured information about the test) - KUnit has facilities for
devs to use these in tests, but so far they have not gotten much use
probably due to the smaller scope nature of KUnit tests. The other
difference is because KUnit groups related test cases together into
subtests (KUnit calls them test suites, but TAP calls them subtests)
whereas kselftest does not - again this largely has to do with the
style of tests. Both of these features exist in KTAP, but the output
tends to reflect the kinds of tests being written.

Tim, Shuah, David (or anyone else), please let me know if I missed anything.

I hope that answers everyone's questions.

P.S. You can get KUnit results from user space separated out from
dmesg if you prefer to run your tests that way[3].

[2] We now support the top level test plan as specified, but do not
support SKIP tests yet; however, most KUnit tests don't need SKIP
tests anyway. See [1] for more information.
