Even with our current set of statuses, the output is a bit verbose.
It could get worse in the future if we add more (e.g. timeout, kasan).
Let's only print the relevant ones.

I had previously been sympathetic to the argument that always
printing out all the statuses would make it easier to parse results.
But now we have commit acd8e8407b8f ("kunit: Print test statistics on
failure"), there are test counts printed out in the raw output.
We don't currently print out an overall total across all suites, but it
would be easy to add, if we see a need for that.

Looks good to me. I agree that we should add a total, too. I was
thinking of adding one anyway, but now there's more space for it, I've
just sent a patch out.

I was specifically referring to the test statistics in the kernel output.
We print out the counts per suite, but we don't print out the total count.

But a total in the kunit.py parsed output might be useful as well.

Ack. My point was about the summary line.
We have so few tests that only a handful statuses, that adding up 2-3
small numbers always felt simple enough.
Esp. since the previous patch skips printing out the statues with 0s,
that becomes even easier.

But I'm not against having the total.
I just personally find the current output looks very awkward and would
prefer the status-quo over that specific output format.

I think a reader can already easily note the difference between
  Ran 42 tests: 40 passed, 2 skipped.
and
  Ran 42 tests: 20 passed, 20 failed, 2 skipped.

I.e. the mere existence of a second or third number in the breakdown
after "XX passed" feels like enough of an affordance.
(This is perhaps naively assuming that tests are kept healthy)

Ack.
Let's see if Brendan or others on the list have a preference.

If we want to go down that route, it might be easier if I combine this
in the previous patch
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220407223019.2066361-1-dlatypov@google.com/

E.g. I get this output
Ran 173 tests: passed: 137, skipped: 36
