There is a discussion about improving the usability of kselftest by
creating test-specific kconfig in recent kernel Summit. Furthormore,
there are different approaches to do it:

1) keep test-specific kconfig fragments inside each selftest so that
merge_configs.sh could build up a kernel that can test the specific
or all feature(s).

2) In the main menu, have an additional option/flag for each feature
that should be enabled when ksefltests are wanted.  Similar to the
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST flag.

This patch try to do option 1. Hope it is a good start for
discussion. User could use these configs with merge_config.sh script:

For broader discussion, could you please resend and include LKML?

Yeah good idea.

Before you do, do you want to try adding a top-level target that does the
merge, something like:

 $ make kselftest-mergeconfig


Or some other better name.

Ok, Do you mean merge all the test config?
