This diffstat is a bit annoying.
And the reason is that we have
[torvalds@ryzen linux]$ cat tools/testing/kunit/.gitattributes
test_data/* binary
iow, you're telling git that everything in that test_data directory is
binary blobs. Which isn't actually true.
This isn't new, but it was just more noticeable this time around.
That binary marker comes from commit afc63da64f1e ("kunit:
kunit_parser: make parser more robust") and I'm not really seeing the
reason for it.
You are right. It appears there is no need to add these binary blobs.
Brendan and I discussed this and he will send a fix to remove the blobs
and redo the test output. In other words fix commit afc63da64f1e.
Sorry for not catching this earlier.
thanks,
