Implemented small fix so that the script changes work directories to the linux directory where kunit.py is run. This enables the user to run kunit from any working directory. Originally considered using os.path.join but this is more error prone as we would have to find all file path usages and modify them accordingly. Using os.chdir ensures that the entire script is run within /linux.

Sorry - I'm not a current kunit user, but does this mean that the kernel source has to be present in order to run the unit tests? That's problematical for embedded systems. Maybe that's outside the scope of what unit tests were envisioned for?
No worries.
It is already the case that the kunit_tool assumes you have the source. It's purpose is to build tests, run them, and collect results. We are working on separating these functions, but right now given that the script assumes it will build the kernel for you, it is necessarily the case that you have source.
You can, nevertheless, build and run KUnit tests without the use of our scripts, which should work for most applications.
