The current error message is precise, but not very clear if you don't already know what it's talking about, e.g. > $ make ARCH=um olddefconfig O=.kunit > ERROR:root:Provided Kconfig is not contained in validated .config. Following fields found in kunitconfig, but not in .config: CONFIG_DRM=y Try to reword the error message so that it's * your missing options usually have unsatisified dependencies * if you're on UML, that might be the cause (it is, in this example) Signed-off-by: Daniel Latypov <dlatypov@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note: this is based on https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20211106013058.2621799-1-dlatypov@xxxxxxxxxx/ There's a fairly trivial merge conflict between these two patches (that patch changes the line above where this diff starts). --- tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py | 20 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py index 7d459d6d6ff2..350883672be0 100644 --- a/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py +++ b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py @@ -266,15 +266,17 @@ class LinuxSourceTree(object): def validate_config(self, build_dir) -> bool: kconfig_path = get_kconfig_path(build_dir) validated_kconfig = kunit_config.parse_file(kconfig_path) - if not self._kconfig.is_subset_of(validated_kconfig): - invalid = self._kconfig.entries() - validated_kconfig.entries() - message = 'Provided Kconfig is not contained in validated .config.
