Cannot run kunit tests #1574

Describe the bug

Currentlly, it is not possible to run Kunit tests while doing kernel development inside toolbox.

This seems to be related to /dev/shm. Here is the output when trying to run the compiled um architecture kernel:

❯ ./.kunit/linux
Core dump limits :
        soft - NONE
        hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking syscall emulation for ptrace...OK
Checking environment variables for a tempdir...none found
Checking if /dev/shm is on tmpfs...OK
Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /dev/shm...Operation not permitted
/dev/shm must be not mounted noexec

Steps how to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Clone Linux kernel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
  2. Build kunit tests:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec
  1. Execute kernel executable:
./.kunit/linux

I am running the executable directly since that will show the error properly. Using kunit.py run will just show unhelpful error that KTAP output was missing.

Output of toolbox --version (v0.0.90+)
e.g., toolbox version 0.0.90
