This was done to deal with the various mangling of reports (i.e. "summaries") I've been getting from CI systems that run LKDTM. It has been difficult to reliably extract actionable details, so instead I included it with the test output. And the extra details go the other way too: frequently folks configuring the CI have no context for why tests fail, and LKDTM usually has a reasonable amount of information about what Kconfig settings have gone missing, etc, so those hints are reported as well. -- Kees Cook
