Subject: kunit: tool: Terminate kernel under test on SIGINT
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f260b02eeeffbf2263c2b82b6e3e32fd73cde2b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

kunit: tool: Terminate kernel under test on SIGINT

kunit.py will attempt to catch SIGINT / ^C in order to ensure the TTY isn't
messed up, but never actually attempts to terminate the running kernel (be
it UML or QEMU). This can lead to a bit of frustration if the kernel has
crashed or hung.

Terminate the kernel process in the signal handler, if it's running. This
requires plumbing through the process handle in a few more places (and
having some checks to see if the kernel is still running in places where it
may have already been killed).
