When using `kunit.py run` to run tests, users must populate a `kunitconfig` file to select the options the tests are hidden behind and all their dependencies.
The patch [1] to allow specifying a path to kunitconfig promises to make this nicer as we can have checked in files corresponding to different sets of tests.
But it's still annoying 1) when trying to run a subet of tests 2) when you want to run tests that don't have such a pre-existing kunitconfig and selecting all the necessary options is tricky.
This patch series aims to alleviate both: 1) `kunit.py run 'my-suite-*'` I.e. use my current kunitconfig, but just run suites that match this glob 2) `kunit.py run --alltests 'my-suite-*'` I.e. use allyesconfig so I don't have to worry about writing a kunitconfig at all (this is a bit overkill, but it works!)
See the first commit message for more details and discussion about future work.
This patch series also includes a bugfix for a latent bug that can't be triggered right now but has worse consequences as a result of the changes needed to plumb in this suite name glob.
