Guenter Roeck reports that the new slub kunit tests added by commit 4e1c44b3db79 ("kunit, slub: add test_kfree_rcu() and test_leak_destroy()") cause a lockup on boot on several architectures when the kunit tests are configured to be built-in and not modules.
The test_kfree_rcu test invokes kfree_rcu() and boot sequence inspection showed the runner for built-in kunit tests kunit_run_all_tests() is called before setting system_state to SYSTEM_RUNNING and calling rcu_end_inkernel_boot(), so this seems like a likely cause. So while I was unable to reproduce the problem myself, skipping the test when the slub_kunit module is built-in should avoid the issue.
An alternative fix that was moving the call to kunit_run_all_tests() a bit later in the boot was tried, but has broken tests with functions marked as __init due to free_initmem() already being done.
