Using the `kunit_tool` with the command:

tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/tests/

Lead to this error[0]. Fix it by expliciting removing the
CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION.

I think that's a bug in the Kconfig files that should be fixed
by enforcing the correct set of dependencies. I have not encountered
this in my randconfig builds (with a lot of other fixes applied)

In linux-next, CONFIG_VT cannot be disabled if CONFIG_EXPERT=n,
so this does not happen.

Changing the local config should not be required after fixing
the Kconfig files.

CONFIG_VT can only be disabled if CONFIG_EXPERT=y but I also see that it
does not default to 'y' if !UML. Also FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE depends on !UML
but DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION selects FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE if !EXPERT.

Maybe we should include !UML in that condition to? Something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig b/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig

        select FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY if FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
        default y
        help


With that I'm able to run the DRM kunit tests wihtout the mentioned
problem. But I'm not sure if that is the correct fix or not.

It works here too, I just don't understand why this commit caused this
bug, as it did not touch this line.

Agree, I also didn't find the error on the dependencies, so I made this
patch to see what you guys thought. Maybe Javier's take is the correct
fix.

Yes, I also don't understand why the FB_CORE split made it more likely to
happen since AFAICT the same problem could had happen with just CONFIG_FB.

Yes, that should work. Was the original bug report about UML then?

I'm not actually sure we need the select at all. When I tried
to narrow down how fbdev is used in the previous
thread, the answer was pretty much that it could be used
in any possible way, so there might be users that only want
the /dev/fb0 interface but not the console, or even just
the logo.

Another thing we could do here would be

config DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
      select FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE if VT

which is simpler and probably just as good. Or if we decide that
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is in fact only useful for FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
and add 'depends on VT' and removed the "if (...)"

c242f48433e79 ("drm: Make FB_CORE to be selected if DRM fbdev emulation
is enabled") changed DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION from 'depends on FB' to
an effective 'select FB_CORE', so any config that previously had
DRM=y and FB=n now has FB_CORE=y and FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y.

By original do you mean Arthur's report or Randy's? But yes, in both cases
CONFIG_UML=y when the issue was seen.

Yes, I agree with you. Maybe then the fix could be to just drop that select?

As mentioned I don't think thatis only useful with fbcon/vt and there
should be possible to enable the fbdev DRM emulation even without it.
