Making kunit itself buildable as a module allows for "always-on"
kunit configuration; specifying CONFIG_KUNIT=m means the module
is built but only used when loaded.  Kunit test modules will load
kunit.ko as an implicit dependency, so simply running
"modprobe my-kunit-tests" will load the tests along with the kunit
module and run them.

Can you just export sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs?

I don't mean to make you redo all this work for one symbol twice, but
I thought we agreed on just exposing this symbol, but in a namespace.
It seemed like a good use case for that namespaced exporting thing
that Luis was talking about. As I understood it, you would have to
export it in the module that defines it, and then use the new
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() macro here.

Also, I tried applying this and running this on kselftest/test and got
the following build error:

In file included from lib/kunit/try-catch.c:10:

Sure, I can certainly look into that, though I wonder if we should 
consider another possibility - should kunit have its own sysctl table for 
things like configuring timeouts? I can look at adding a patch for that 
prior to the module patch so the issues with exporting the hung task 
timeout would go away. Now the reason I suggest this isn't as much a hack 
to solve this specific problem, rather it seems to fit better with the 
longer-term intent expressed by the comment around use of the field (at 
least as I read it, I may be wrong).

Exporting the symbol does allow us to piggy-back on an existing value, but 
maybe we should support out our own tunable "kunit_timeout_secs" here?
Doing so would also lay the groundwork for supporting other kunit 
tunables in the future if needed. What do you think?

Many thanks for the review! I've got an updated patchset almost 
ready with the symbol lookup stuff removed; the above is the last issue 
outstanding from my side.

Thanks!

+Stephen Boyd - since he is more of an expert on the hung task timer than I am.

So on the one hand, yes, I would like to have configurable test
timeouts for KUnit, but that is not what the parameter check is for
here. This is to make sure KUnit times a test case out before the hung
task timer does.

Not really. Although I do agree that adding configurability here might
be a good idea, I believe we would need to clamp such a value by
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs regardless since we don't want to be
killed by the hung task timer; thus, we still need access to
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs either way, and so doing what you are
proposing would be off topic.

The goal is not to piggy back on the value as I mentioned above.
Stephen, do you have any thoughts on this? Do you see any other
preferable solution to what Alan is trying to do?

Awesome! No thanks necessary, I appreciate the work you are doing!
There were some other people who mentioned that they wanted this in
the past, so it is a really big help having you do this. I feel bad
that I couldn't get the review back to you faster. :-)
