Subject[PATCH v3] kunit: tool: Default --jobs to number of CPUs
From
From: David Gow <davidgow@google.com>

The --jobs parameter for kunit_tool currently defaults to 8 CPUs,
regardless of the number available. For systems with significantly more
(or less), this is not as efficient. Instead, default --jobs to the
number of CPUs available to the process: while there are as many
superstitions as to exactly what the ideal jobs:CPU ratio is, this seems
sufficiently sensible to me.

A new helper function to get the default number of jobs is added:
get_default_jobs() -- this is used in kunit_tool_test instead of a
hardcoded value, or an explicit call to len(os.sched_getaffinity()), so
should be more flexible if this needs to change in the future.

Changes since v2:
- Rebased by Daniel Latypov onto linxu-kselftest kunit branch.
There was a trivial conflict in kunit_tool_test.py.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20211211084928.410669-1-davidgow@google.com/
- Use len(os.sched_getaffinity()) instead of os.cpu_count(), which gives
the number of available processors (to this process), rather than the
total.
- Fix kunit_tool_test.py, which had 8 jobs hardcoded in a couple of
places.
- Thanks to Daniel Latypov for these suggestions.
