Context: When using a non-UML arch, kunit.py will boot the test kernel with options like these by default (this is x86_64): > mem=1G console=tty kunit_shutdown=halt console=ttyS0 kunit_shutdown=reboot The first three options are added unconditionally but are only intended for UML. 1. 'mem=1G' is redundant with the '-m 1024' that we hard-code into the qemu commandline. 2. We specify a 'console' for all tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/*.py already, so 'console=tty' gets overwritten. 3. For QEMU, we need to use 'reboot', and for UML we need to use 'halt'. If you switch them, kunit.py will hang until the --timeout expires. This patch: Having these duplicate options is a bit noisy. Switch so we only add UML-specific options for UML. I.e. we now get UML: 'mem=1G console=tty kunit_shutdown=halt' (unchanged) x86_64: 'console=ttyS0 kunit_shutdown=reboot' Side effect: you can't overwrite these options on UML w/ --kernel_arg. But you already couldn't for QEMU (console, kunit_shutdown), and why would you want to?

I.e. also only specify "mem=1G and console=tty" for UML. --- tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py index 1b9c4922a675..8945640b5063 100644 --- a/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py +++ b/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py @@ -160,6 +160,7 @@ class LinuxSourceTreeOperationsUml(LinuxSourceTreeOperations): def start(self, params: List[str], build_dir: str) -> subprocess.Popen: """Runs the Linux UML binary.
