kunit: tool: suggest using decode_stacktrace.sh on kernel crash
kunit.py isn't very clear that 1) it stashes a copy of the unparsed output in $BUILD_DIR/test.log 2) it sets $BUILD_DIR=.kunit by default So it's trickier than it should be for a user to come up with the right command to do so. Make kunit.py print out a command for this if a) we saw a test case crash b) we only ran one kernel (test.log only contains output from the last) Example suggested command: $ scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh .kunit/vmlinux .kunit < .kunit/test.log | tee .kunit/decoded.log | ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py parse Without debug info a user might see something like [14:11:25] Call Trace: [14:11:25] ? kunit_binary_assert_format (:?) [14:11:25] kunit_try_run_case (test.c:?) [14:11:25] ? __kthread_parkme (kthread.c:?) [14:11:25] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter (try-catch.c:?) [14:11:25] ? kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter (try-catch.c:?) [14:11:25] kthread (kthread.c:?) [14:11:25] new_thread_handler (:?) [14:11:25] [CRASHED] `tee` is in GNU coreutils, so it seems fine to add that into the pipeline by default, that way users can inspect the otuput in more detail. Note: to turn on debug info, users would need to do something like $ echo -e 'CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y\nCONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y' >> .kunit/.kunitconfig $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build $ <then run decode_stacktrace.sh now vmlinux is updated> This feels too clunky to include in the instructions. With --kconfig_add [1], it would become a bit less painful.
