kunit: Handle test faults
[ Upstream commit 3a35c13007dea132a65f07de05c26b87837fadc2 ]
Previously, when a kernel test thread crashed (e.g. NULL pointer
dereference, general protection fault), the KUnit test hanged for 30
seconds and exited with a timeout error.
Fix this issue by waiting on task_struct->vfork_done instead of the
custom kunit_try_catch.try_completion, and track the execution state by
initially setting try_result with -EINTR and only setting it to 0 if
the test passed.
Fix kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter() signature by returning 0
instead of calling kthread_complete_and_exit(). Because thread's exit
code is never checked, always set it to 0 to make it clear. To make
this explicit, export kthread_exit() for KUnit tests built as module.
Fix the -EINTR error message, which couldn't be reached until now.
This is tested with a following patch.
