Probably. I envisioned ksft_print_msg() as parsing the string for newlines,
and replacing them with: "\n# ", to work around this problem.
I can code something up if desired.

Yeah - I don't like this as a test description.

I would restructure this as:

+ const char *test_name = "kcmp with KCMP_FILE"
...
- printf("FAIL: 0 expected but %d returned (%s)\n",
+ ksft_test_result_fail(test_name);
+ ksft_print_msg("0 expected but %d returned (%s)\n",
+ ret, strerror(errno));
...
- (minus stuff)
+ } else
+ ksft_test_result_pass(test_name);

And do a similar re-structuring, using test_name, and adding
diagnostic information only on failure (with ksft_print_msg),
with:
const char *test_name = "kcmp with KCMP_VM"
