I've got some reservations about this patch.

Firstly, could we have an example of the problem in the commit
message, so we know what we're fixing?

Secondly, I _really_ don't like the way this just removes newlines
from log lines if there are too many. It feels like a hack, rather
than a proper fix.

I suspect the actual issue here is in the kunit_log macro in
include/kunit/test.h:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/kunit/test.h#L417

kunit_log_append((test_or_suite)->log, fmt "\n", ##__VA_ARGS__); \

The "\n" concatenated here is probably the issue. The printk statement
doesn't add a newline, but that's because printk implicitly does if
KERN_CONT is not added.

So maybe the correct fix here is to use:
printk(KERN_CONT lvl fmt "\n", ##__VA_ARGS__)

That'd add the newline, rather than get rid of it, but at least should
make the behaviour more similar between printk and the debugfs log.
Equally, you could use KERN_CONT and get rid of the "\n" in both
places, requiring it in log messages.

Thirdly, I don't really like the way the test is skipped if debugfs
isn't active. Could we skip it if test->log is not valid instead or
using a compile-time #ifdef?

I do like the move of kunit_log_test though. That definitely cleans things up!

Cheers,
