Ack. My point was about the summary line.
We have so few tests that only a handful statuses, that adding up 2-3
small numbers always felt simple enough.
Esp. since the previous patch skips printing out the statues with 0s,
that becomes even easier.

But I'm not against having the total.
I just personally find the current output looks very awkward and would
prefer the status-quo over that specific output format.

I think a reader can already easily note the difference between
  Ran 42 tests: 40 passed, 2 skipped.
and
  Ran 42 tests: 20 passed, 20 failed, 2 skipped.

I.e. the mere existence of a second or third number in the breakdown
after "XX passed" feels like enough of an affordance.
(This is perhaps naively assuming that tests are kept healthy)

Ack.
Let's see if Brendan or others on the list have a preference.

If we want to go down that route, it might be easier if I combine this
in the previous patch
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220407223019.2066361-1-dlatypov@xxxxxxxxxx/

E.g. I get this output
Ran 173 tests: passed: 137, skipped: 36
