Now that kunit.py's --kunitconfig is repeatable, let's create a file to hold the various options needed to enable coverage under UML.
This can be used like so: $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \ --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/all_tests_uml.config \ --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/coverage_uml.config \ --make_options=CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6
which on my system is enough to get coverage working [1].
It's great to see this coming to KUnit! As I was testing this series, I wasn't able to generate the coverage stats with GCC11. I got a linking error from ld:
ERROR:root:/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/11/libgcov.a(_gcov.o): in function `mangle_path': (.text+0x19f0): multiple definition of `mangle_path'; fs/seq_file.o:/home/mairacanal/linux/.kunit/../fs/seq_file.c:441: first defined here collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
By changing the name of the function to `seq_mangle_path`, it is possible to solve the linking error and run the tests. But, anyway, no .gcda files are generated.
I checked out, and this is a known issue that was already discussed in this series [1] (but I guess it didn't move on).
There's the two main issues I knew about and that you noted. * no gcda files produced (gcc 7+) * seq_mangle_path (I don't remember, gcc 8 or 9+?)
The latter can be worked around locally fairly easily, as you also found. The former is due to how the exit handlers work, iirc.
I didn't know about [1], but it also mentions the exit handlers issue. However, from the sounds of [2], it seems like it might be a dead end for now :\ So I wouldn't hold onto hope of using modern GCC versions with this.
