Commit 87c9c1631788 ("kunit: tool: add support for QEMU") on the 'next'
tree adds 'from __future__ import annotations' in 'kunit_kernel.py'.
Because it is supported on only >=3.7 Python, people using older Python
will get below error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py", line 20, in <module>
import kunit_kernel
File "/home/sjpark/linux/tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py", line 9
from __future__ import annotations
^
SyntaxError: future feature annotations is not defined

This commit adds a version assertion in 'kunit.py', so that people get
more explicit error message like below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py", line 15, in <module>
assert sys.version_info >= (3, 7)
AssertionError

Ah, we had been fine with just using 3.6 before this (and could have
dropped down to 3.5 with a few lines changed).

But 3.7 came out initially in 2018*, so I assume we're probably fine
to rely on that in kunit tool.

Do we perhaps want
assert sys.version_info >= (3, 7), "Python version is too old"

Then the error message would be
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py", line 15, in <module>
assert sys.version_info >= (3, 7), "Python version is too old"
AssertionError: Python version is too old

I assume kernel devs know some Python, but not necessarily that
sys.version_info == "my python version"

That looks easier to understand. I will post v2 in reply to this.

Chatted offline with David about this.
He was thinking if we could instead drop the minimal version back to 3.6.

I think we can do so, see below.
Perhaps we should drop the import and then chain this patch on top of
that, specifying a minimum version of 3.6?

Checking out https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/?h=kunit-fixes

The offending "annotations" import is related to type annotations.
Specifically https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0563/

So let's see how the two most popular typecheckers fare.

pytype is happy with or without import.
mypy has the same issues with or without the import.

$ mypy tools/testing/kunit/*.py
tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py:227: error: Item "_Loader" of
"Optional[_Loader]" has no attribute "exec_module"
tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py:227: error: Item "None" of
"Optional[_Loader]" has no attribute "exec_module"
tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py:228: error: Module has no
attribute "QEMU_ARCH"
tools/testing/kunit/kunit_kernel.py:229: error: Module has no
attribute "QEMU_ARCH"

So clearly it's not doing anything for them.

Taking a look over 87c9c1631788 ("kunit: tool: add support for QEMU")
next then...
I don't see anything that would warrant the import, so we should
probably drop it.

In that case, the minimum supported version should drop back down to 3.6.
We use enum.auto, which is from 3.6
https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#enum.auto

We could consider stopping using that, and I think we might be then
3.5-compatible.
Maybe we have a chain of 3 patches then, drop the import, drop auto,
and then add in a >=3.5 version check?

Actually, now I've gotten python3.6 installed on my machine, I see we
have another issue.

We pass text=true to subprocess.
That didn't exist back in 3.6, see
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/subprocess.html

We can workaround that, but there's more chance of subtle bugs that
I'd rather we don't touch it.

Also, using 3.6 now I have it installed, I found what it was added for.
But it doesn't need to be there.

This patch drops it and makes things work, afaict:

As mentioned above, we do actually need 3.7, and not just for the extra import.
Now I know that, I feel more strongly that this patch should go in, as-is.

Yep, sorry, I just wanted to make sure everything else (there were a
lot of things in the queue) was in order for the 5.14 merge window
