[v4,RESEND,4/7] kunit: Handle test faults

Commit Message

Mickaël Salaün April 8, 2024, 7:46 a.m. UTC

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.
