kunit: tool: continue past invalid utf-8 output
kunit.py currently crashes and fails to parse kernel output if it's not fully valid utf-8. This can come from memory corruption or just inadvertently printing out binary data as strings. E.g. adding this line into a kunit test pr_info("\x80") will cause this exception UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 1961: invalid start byte We can tell Python how to handle errors, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#error-handlers Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there's a way to specify this in just one location, so we need to repeat ourselves quite a bit. Specify `errors='backslashreplace'` so we instead: * print out the offending byte as '\x80' * try and continue parsing the output. * as long as the TAP lines themselves are valid, we're fine.
