linux-kselftest-kunit-fixes-5.11-rc3
This kunit update for Linux 5.11-rc3 consists one fix to force the use
of the 'tty' console for UML. Given that kunit tool requires the console
output, explicitly stating the dependency makes sense than relying on
it being the default.
kunit: tool: Force the use of the 'tty' console for UML
kunit_tool relies on the UML console outputting printk() output to the
tty in order to get results. Since the default console driver could
change, pass 'console=tty' to the kernel.
This is triggered by a change[1] to use ttynull as a fallback console
driver which -- by chance or by design -- seems to have changed the
default console output on UML, breaking kunit_tool. While this may be
fixed, we should be less fragile to such changes in the default.
