Subject: lib: PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST should not select PRIME_NUMBERS
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:35:00 +0200
Enabling a (modular) test should not silently enable additional kernel
functionality, as that may increase the attack vector of a product.
Fix this by making PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST depend on PRIME_NUMBERS
instead of selecting it.
After this, one can safely enable CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=m to build
modules for all appropriate tests for ones system, without pulling in
extra unwanted functionality, while still allowing a tester to manually
enable PRIME_NUMBERS and this test suite on a system where PRIME_NUMBERS
is not enabled by default. Resurrect CONFIG_PRIME_NUMBERS=m in
tools/testing/selftests/lib/config for the latter use case.
