That works for me. It still feels redundant, but all I really want is a standard name. :)

I actually find this to be much more important because it is more end-user-facing (i.e. in module naming, in build logs, in scripts, on filesystem, etc -- CONFIG is basically only present during kernel build). Trying to do any sorting or greping really needs a way to find all the kunit pieces.

Understood. I think consistency is preferred too, especially since the driving reason to make this conversions is to gain consistency with the actual tests themselves.

Yes please! :)

As mentioned, I'm fine with this, but prefer ~_KUNIT

I really don't like this. Several reasons reasons:
- it does not distinguish it from other tests -- there is no way to identify kunit tests from non-kunit tests from directory listings, build log greps, etc.
- the current "common" naming has been with a leading "test", ignoring kunit, tools/, and samples/:
53 test_*.c 27 *_test.c 19 *[a-z0-9]test.c 19 selftest*.c 16 test-*.c 11 *-test.c 11 test[a-z0-9]*.c 8 *-tests.c 5 *-selftest.c 4 *_test_*.c 1 *_selftest_*.c 1 *_selftests.c
(these counts might be a bit off -- my eyes started to cross while constructing regexes)
- dashes are converted to _ in module names, leading to some confusion between .c file and .ko file.
I'd strongly prefer ~_kunit.c, but could live with _kunit_test.c (even though it's redundant).

I'm ready! :) (Subject updated)

Ah yeah, good idea.
