+========================
+Function Redirection API
+========================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+When writing unit tests, it's important to be able to isolate the code being
+tested from other parts of the kernel. This ensures the reliability of the test
+(it won't be affected by external factors), reduces dependencies on specific
+hardware or config options (making the test easier to run), and protects the
+stability of the rest of the system (making it less likely for test-specific
+state to interfere with the rest of the system).
+
+While for some code (typically generic data structures, helpers, and other
+"pure functions") this is trivial, for others (like device drivers,
+filesystems, core subsystems) the code is heavily coupled with other parts of
+the kernel.
+
+This coupling is often due to global state in some way: be it a global list of
+devices, the filesystem, or some hardware state. Tests need to either carefully
+manage, isolate, and restore state, or they can avoid it altogether by
+replacing access to and mutation of this state with a "fake" or "mock" variant.
+
+By refactoring access to such state, such as by introducing a layer of
+indirection which can use or emulate a separate set of test state. However,
+such refactoring comes with its own costs (and undertaking significant
+refactoring before being able to write tests is suboptimal).
+
+A simpler way to intercept and replace some of the function calls is to use
+function redirection via static stubs.
+
+
+Static Stubs
+============
+
+Static stubs are a way of redirecting calls to one function (the "real"
+function) to another function (the "replacement" function).
+
+It works by adding a macro to the "real" function which checks to see if a test
+is running, and if a replacement function is available. If so, that function is
+called in place of the original.
+
+Using static stubs is pretty straightforward:
+
+1. Add the KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() macro to the start of the "real"
+ function.
+
+ This should be the first statement in the function, after any variable
+ declarations. KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() takes the name of the
+ function, followed by all of the arguments passed to the real function.
+
+ For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str)
+ {
+ KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str);
+ /* real implementation */
+ }
+
+2. Write one or more replacement functions.
+
+ These functions should have the same function signature as the real function.
+ In the event they need to access or modify test-specific state, they can use
+ kunit_get_current_test() to get a struct kunit pointer. This can then
+ be passed to the expectation/assertion macros, or used to look up KUnit
+ resources.
+
+ For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str)
+ {
+ struct kunit *test = kunit_get_current_test();
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ(test, str, "Hello World!");
+ }
+
+3. Activate the static stub from your test.
+
+ From within a test, the redirection can be enabled with
+ kunit_activate_static_stub(), which accepts a struct kunit pointer,
+ the real function, and the replacement function. You can call this several
+ times with different replacement functions to swap out implementations of the
+ function.
+
+ In our example, this would be
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ kunit_activate_static_stub(test,
+ send_data_to_hardware,
+ fake_send_data_to_hardware);
+
+4. Call (perhaps indirectly) the real function.
+
+ Once the redirection is activated, any call to the real function will call
+ the replacement function instead. Such calls may be buried deep in the
+ implementation of another function, but must occur from the test's kthread.
+
+ For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ send_data_to_hardware("Hello World!"); /* Succeeds */
+ send_data_to_hardware("Something else"); /* Fails the test. */
+
+5. (Optionally) disable the stub.
+
+ When you no longer need it, disable the redirection (and hence resume the
+ original behaviour of the 'real' function) using
+ kunit_deactivate_static_stub(). Otherwise, it will be automatically disabled
+ when the test exits.
+
+ For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware);
+
+
+It's also possible to use these replacement functions to test to see if a
+function is called at all, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str)
+ {
+ KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str);
+ /* real implementation */
+ }
+
+ /* In test file */
+ int times_called = 0;
+ void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str)
+ {
+ times_called++;
+ }
+ ...
+ /* In the test case, redirect calls for the duration of the test */
+ kunit_activate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware, fake_send_data_to_hardware);
+
+ send_data_to_hardware("hello");
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1);
+
+ /* Can also deactivate the stub early, if wanted */
+ kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware);
+
+ send_data_to_hardware("hello again");
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1);
+

+==================
+KUnit Architecture
+==================
+
+The KUnit architecture is divided into two parts:
+
+- `In-Kernel Testing Framework`_
+- `kunit_tool (Command-line Test Harness)`_
+
+In-Kernel Testing Framework
+===========================
+
+The kernel testing library supports KUnit tests written in C using
+KUnit. These KUnit tests are kernel code. KUnit performs the following
+tasks:
+
+- Organizes tests
+- Reports test results
+- Provides test utilities
+
+Test Cases
+----------
+
+The test case is the fundamental unit in KUnit. KUnit test cases are organised
+into suites. A KUnit test case is a function with type signature
+``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. These test case functions are wrapped in a
+struct called struct kunit_case.
+
+.. note:
+ ``generate_params`` is optional for non-parameterized tests.
+
+Each KUnit test case receives a ``struct kunit`` context object that tracks a
+running test. The KUnit assertion macros and other KUnit utilities use the
+``struct kunit`` context object. As an exception, there are two fields:
+
+- ``->priv``: The setup functions can use it to store arbitrary test
+ user data.
+
+- ``->param_value``: It contains the parameter value which can be
+ retrieved in the parameterized tests.
+
+Test Suites
+-----------
+
+A KUnit suite includes a collection of test cases. The KUnit suites
+are represented by the ``struct kunit_suite``. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz),
+ {}
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = {
+ .name = "example",
+ .init = example_test_init,
+ .exit = example_test_exit,
+ .test_cases = example_test_cases,
+ };
+ kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite);
+
+In the above example, the test suite ``example_test_suite``, runs the
+test cases ``example_test_foo``, ``example_test_bar``, and
+``example_test_baz``. Before running the test, the ``example_test_init``
+is called and after running the test, ``example_test_exit`` is called.
+The ``kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite)`` registers the test suite
+with the KUnit test framework.
+
+Executor
+--------
+
+The KUnit executor can list and run built-in KUnit tests on boot.
+The Test suites are stored in a linker section
+called ``.kunit_test_suites``. For the code, see ``KUNIT_TABLE()`` macro
+definition in
+`include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h?h=v6.0#n950>`_.
+The linker section consists of an array of pointers to
+``struct kunit_suite``, and is populated by the ``kunit_test_suites()``
+macro. The KUnit executor iterates over the linker section array in order to
+run all the tests that are compiled into the kernel.
+
+.. kernel-figure:: kunit_suitememorydiagram.svg
+ :alt: KUnit Suite Memory
+
+ KUnit Suite Memory Diagram
+
+On the kernel boot, the KUnit executor uses the start and end addresses
+of this section to iterate over and run all tests. For the implementation of the
+executor, see
+`lib/kunit/executor.c <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/kunit/executor.c>`_.
+When built as a module, the ``kunit_test_suites()`` macro defines a
+``module_init()`` function, which runs all the tests in the compilation
+unit instead of utilizing the executor.
+
+In KUnit tests, some error classes do not affect other tests
+or parts of the kernel, each KUnit case executes in a separate thread
+context. See the ``kunit_try_catch_run()`` function in
+`lib/kunit/try-catch.c <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/kunit/try-catch.c?h=v5.15#n58>`_.
+
+Assertion Macros
+----------------
+
+KUnit tests verify state using expectations/assertions.
+All expectations/assertions are formatted as:
+``KUNIT_{EXPECT|ASSERT}_<op>[_MSG](kunit, property[, message])``
+
+- ``{EXPECT|ASSERT}`` determines whether the check is an assertion or an
+ expectation.
+ In the event of a failure, the testing flow differs as follows:
+
+ - For expectations, the test is marked as failed and the failure is logged.
+
+ - Failing assertions, on the other hand, result in the test case being
+ terminated immediately.
+
+ - Assertions call the function:
+ ``void __noreturn __kunit_abort(struct kunit *)``.
+
+ - ``__kunit_abort`` calls the function:
+ ``void __noreturn kunit_try_catch_throw(struct kunit_try_catch *try_catch)``.
+
+ - ``kunit_try_catch_throw`` calls the function:
+ ``void kthread_complete_and_exit(struct completion *, long) __noreturn;``
+ and terminates the special thread context.
+
+- ``<op>`` denotes a check with options: ``TRUE`` (supplied property
+ has the boolean value "true"), ``EQ`` (two supplied properties are
+ equal), ``NOT_ERR_OR_NULL`` (supplied pointer is not null and does not
+ contain an "err" value).
+
+- ``[_MSG]`` prints a custom message on failure.
+
+Test Result Reporting
+---------------------
+KUnit prints the test results in KTAP format. KTAP is based on TAP14, see
+Documentation/dev-tools/ktap.rst.
+KTAP works with KUnit and Kselftest. The KUnit executor prints KTAP results to
+dmesg, and debugfs (if configured).
+
+Parameterized Tests
+-------------------
+
+Each KUnit parameterized test is associated with a collection of
+parameters. The test is invoked multiple times, once for each parameter
+value and the parameter is stored in the ``param_value`` field.
+The test case includes a KUNIT_CASE_PARAM() macro that accepts a
+generator function. The generator function is passed the previous parameter
+and returns the next parameter. It also includes a macro for generating
+array-based common-case generators.
+
+kunit_tool (Command-line Test Harness)
+======================================
+
+``kunit_tool`` is a Python script, found in ``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``. It
+is used to configure, build, execute, parse test results and run all of the
+previous commands in correct order (i.e., configure, build, execute and parse).
+You have two options for running KUnit tests: either build the kernel with KUnit
+enabled and manually parse the results (see
+Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/run_manual.rst) or use ``kunit_tool``
+(see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/run_wrapper.rst).
+
+- ``configure`` command generates the kernel ``.config`` from a
+ ``.kunitconfig`` file (and any architecture-specific options).
+ The Python scripts available in ``qemu_configs`` folder
+ (for example, ``tools/testing/kunit/qemu configs/powerpc.py``) contains
+ additional configuration options for specific architectures.
+ It parses both the existing ``.config`` and the ``.kunitconfig`` files
+ to ensure that ``.config`` is a superset of ``.kunitconfig``.
+ If not, it will combine the two and run ``make olddefconfig`` to regenerate
+ the ``.config`` file. It then checks to see if ``.config`` has become a superset.
+ This verifies that all the Kconfig dependencies are correctly specified in the
+ file ``.kunitconfig``. The ``kunit_config.py`` script contains the code for parsing
+ Kconfigs. The code which runs ``make olddefconfig`` is part of the
+ ``kunit_kernel.py`` script. You can invoke this command through:
+ ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config`` and
+ generate a ``.config`` file.
+- ``build`` runs ``make`` on the kernel tree with required options
+ (depends on the architecture and some options, for example: build_dir)
+ and reports any errors.
+ To build a KUnit kernel from the current ``.config``, you can use the
+ ``build`` argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build``.
+- ``exec`` command executes kernel results either directly (using
+ User-mode Linux configuration), or through an emulator such
+ as QEMU. It reads results from the log using standard
+ output (stdout), and passes them to ``parse`` to be parsed.
+ If you already have built a kernel with built-in KUnit tests,
+ you can run the kernel and display the test results with the ``exec``
+ argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec``.
+- ``parse`` extracts the KTAP output from a kernel log, parses
+ the test results, and prints a summary. For failed tests, any
+ diagnostic output will be included.

+==========================
+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+How is this different from Autotest, kselftest, and so on?
+==========================================================
+KUnit is a unit testing framework. Autotest, kselftest (and some others) are
+not.
+
+A `unit test <https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UnitTest.html>`_ is supposed to
+test a single unit of code in isolation and hence the name *unit test*. A unit
+test should be the finest granularity of testing and should allow all possible
+code paths to be tested in the code under test. This is only possible if the
+code under test is small and does not have any external dependencies outside of
+the test's control like hardware.
+
+There are no testing frameworks currently available for the kernel that do not
+require installing the kernel on a test machine or in a virtual machine. All
+testing frameworks require tests to be written in userspace and run on the
+kernel under test. This is true for Autotest, kselftest, and some others,
+disqualifying any of them from being considered unit testing frameworks.
+
+Does KUnit support running on architectures other than UML?
+===========================================================
+
+Yes, mostly.
+
+For the most part, the KUnit core framework (what we use to write the tests)
+can compile to any architecture. It compiles like just another part of the
+kernel and runs when the kernel boots, or when built as a module, when the
+module is loaded. However, there is infrastructure, like the KUnit Wrapper
+(``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``) that might not support some architectures
+(see :ref:`kunit-on-qemu`).
+
+In short, yes, you can run KUnit on other architectures, but it might require
+more work than using KUnit on UML.
+
+For more information, see :ref:`kunit-on-non-uml`.
+
+.. _kinds-of-tests:
+
+What is the difference between a unit test and other kinds of tests?
+====================================================================
+Most existing tests for the Linux kernel would be categorized as an integration
+test, or an end-to-end test.
+
+- A unit test is supposed to test a single unit of code in isolation. A unit
+ test should be the finest granularity of testing and, as such, allows all
+ possible code paths to be tested in the code under test. This is only possible
+ if the code under test is small and does not have any external dependencies
+ outside of the test's control like hardware.
+- An integration test tests the interaction between a minimal set of components,
+ usually just two or three. For example, someone might write an integration
+ test to test the interaction between a driver and a piece of hardware, or to
+ test the interaction between the userspace libraries the kernel provides and
+ the kernel itself. However, one of these tests would probably not test the
+ entire kernel along with hardware interactions and interactions with the
+ userspace.
+- An end-to-end test usually tests the entire system from the perspective of the
+ code under test. For example, someone might write an end-to-end test for the
+ kernel by installing a production configuration of the kernel on production
+ hardware with a production userspace and then trying to exercise some behavior
+ that depends on interactions between the hardware, the kernel, and userspace.
+
+KUnit is not working, what should I do?
+=======================================
+
+Unfortunately, there are a number of things which can break, but here are some
+things to try.
+
+1. Run ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run`` with the ``--raw_output``
+ parameter. This might show details or error messages hidden by the kunit_tool
+ parser.
+2. Instead of running ``kunit.py run``, try running ``kunit.py config``,
+ ``kunit.py build``, and ``kunit.py exec`` independently. This can help track
+ down where an issue is occurring. (If you think the parser is at fault, you
+ can run it manually against ``stdin`` or a file with ``kunit.py parse``.)
+3. Running the UML kernel directly can often reveal issues or error messages,
+ ``kunit_tool`` ignores. This should be as simple as running ``./vmlinux``
+ after building the UML kernel (for example, by using ``kunit.py build``).
+ Note that UML has some unusual requirements (such as the host having a tmpfs
+ filesystem mounted), and has had issues in the past when built statically and
+ the host has KASLR enabled. (On older host kernels, you may need to run
+ ``setarch `uname -m` -R ./vmlinux`` to disable KASLR.)
+4. Make sure the kernel .config has ``CONFIG_KUNIT=y`` and at least one test
+ (e.g. ``CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=y``). kunit_tool will keep its .config
+ around, so you can see what config was used after running ``kunit.py run``.
+ It also preserves any config changes you might make, so you can
+ enable/disable things with ``make ARCH=um menuconfig`` or similar, and then
+ re-run kunit_tool.
+5. Try to run ``make ARCH=um defconfig`` before running ``kunit.py run``. This
+ may help clean up any residual config items which could be causing problems.
+6. Finally, try running KUnit outside UML. KUnit and KUnit tests can be
+ built into any kernel, or can be built as a module and loaded at runtime.
+ Doing so should allow you to determine if UML is causing the issue you're
+ seeing. When tests are built-in, they will execute when the kernel boots, and
+ modules will automatically execute associated tests when loaded. Test results
+ can be collected from ``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test suite>/results``, and
+ can be parsed with ``kunit.py parse``. For more details, see :ref:`kunit-on-qemu`.
+
+If none of the above tricks help, you are always welcome to email any issues to
+kunit-dev@googlegroups.com.

+
+Introduction
+============
+
+KUnit (Kernel unit testing framework) provides a common framework for
+unit tests within the Linux kernel. Using KUnit, you can define groups
+of test cases called test suites. The tests either run on kernel boot
+if built-in, or load as a module. KUnit automatically flags and reports
+failed test cases in the kernel log. The test results appear in
+:doc:`KTAP (Kernel - Test Anything Protocol) format</dev-tools/ktap>`.
+It is inspired by JUnit, Python’s unittest.mock, and GoogleTest/GoogleMock
+(C++ unit testing framework).
+
+KUnit tests are part of the kernel, written in the C (programming)
+language, and test parts of the Kernel implementation (example: a C
+language function). Excluding build time, from invocation to
+completion, KUnit can run around 100 tests in less than 10 seconds.
+KUnit can test any kernel component, for example: file system, system
+calls, memory management, device drivers and so on.
+
+KUnit follows the white-box testing approach. The test has access to
+internal system functionality. KUnit runs in kernel space and is not
+restricted to things exposed to user-space.
+
+In addition, KUnit has kunit_tool, a script (``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``)
+that configures the Linux kernel, runs KUnit tests under QEMU or UML
+(:doc:`User Mode Linux </virt/uml/user_mode_linux_howto_v2>`),
+parses the test results and
+displays them in a user friendly manner.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Provides a framework for writing unit tests.
+- Runs tests on any kernel architecture.
+- Runs a test in milliseconds.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- Any Linux kernel compatible hardware.
+- For Kernel under test, Linux kernel version 5.5 or greater.
+
+Unit Testing
+============
+
+A unit test tests a single unit of code in isolation. A unit test is the finest
+granularity of testing and allows all possible code paths to be tested in the
+code under test. This is possible if the code under test is small and does not
+have any external dependencies outside of the test's control like hardware.
+
+
+Write Unit Tests
+----------------
+
+To write good unit tests, there is a simple but powerful pattern:
+Arrange-Act-Assert. This is a great way to structure test cases and
+defines an order of operations.
+
+- Arrange inputs and targets: At the start of the test, arrange the data
+ that allows a function to work. Example: initialize a statement or
+ object.
+- Act on the target behavior: Call your function/code under test.
+- Assert expected outcome: Verify that the result (or resulting state) is as
+ expected.
+
+Unit Testing Advantages
+-----------------------
+
+- Increases testing speed and development in the long run.
+- Detects bugs at initial stage and therefore decreases bug fix cost
+ compared to acceptance testing.
+- Improves code quality.
+- Encourages writing testable code.
+
+Read also :ref:`kinds-of-tests`.

+How do I use it?
+================
+
+You can find a step-by-step guide to writing and running KUnit tests in
+Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst
+
+Alternatively, feel free to look through the rest of the KUnit documentation,
+or to experiment with tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py and the example test under
+lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.c
+
+Happy testing!

+Run Tests without kunit_tool
+============================
+
+If we do not want to use kunit_tool (For example: we want to integrate
+with other systems, or run tests on real hardware), we can
+include KUnit in any kernel, read out results, and parse manually.
+
+.. note:: KUnit is not designed for use in a production system. It is
+ possible that tests may reduce the stability or security of
+ the system.
+
+Configure the Kernel
+====================
+
+KUnit tests can run without kunit_tool. This can be useful, if:
+
+- We have an existing kernel configuration to test.
+- Need to run on real hardware (or using an emulator/VM kunit_tool
+ does not support).
+- Wish to integrate with some existing testing systems.
+
+KUnit is configured with the ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` option, and individual
+tests can also be built by enabling their config options in our
+``.config``. KUnit tests usually (but don't always) have config options
+ending in ``_KUNIT_TEST``. Most tests can either be built as a module,
+or be built into the kernel.
+
+.. note ::
+
+ We can enable the ``KUNIT_ALL_TESTS`` config option to
+ automatically enable all tests with satisfied dependencies. This is
+ a good way of quickly testing everything applicable to the current
+ config.
+
+Once we have built our kernel (and/or modules), it is simple to run
+the tests. If the tests are built-in, they will run automatically on the
+kernel boot. The results will be written to the kernel log (``dmesg``)
+in TAP format.
+
+If the tests are built as modules, they will run when the module is
+loaded.
+
+.. code-block :: bash
+
+ # modprobe example-test
+
+The results will appear in TAP format in ``dmesg``.
+
+.. note ::
+
+ If ``CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS`` is enabled, KUnit test results will
+ be accessible from the ``debugfs`` filesystem (if mounted).
+ They will be in ``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test_suite>/results``, in
+ TAP format.

+=============================
+Running tests with kunit_tool
+=============================
+
+We can either run KUnit tests using kunit_tool or can run tests
+manually, and then use kunit_tool to parse the results. To run tests
+manually, see: Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/run_manual.rst.
+As long as we can build the kernel, we can run KUnit.
+
+kunit_tool is a Python script which configures and builds a kernel, runs
+tests, and formats the test results.
+
+Run command:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
+
+We should see the following:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ Configuring KUnit Kernel ...
+ Building KUnit kernel...
+ Starting KUnit kernel...
+
+We may want to use the following options:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --timeout=30 --jobs=`nproc --all`
+
+- ``--timeout`` sets a maximum amount of time for tests to run.
+- ``--jobs`` sets the number of threads to build the kernel.
+
+kunit_tool will generate a ``.kunitconfig`` with a default
+configuration, if no other ``.kunitconfig`` file exists
+(in the build directory). In addition, it verifies that the
+generated ``.config`` file contains the ``CONFIG`` options in the
+``.kunitconfig``.
+It is also possible to pass a separate ``.kunitconfig`` fragment to
+kunit_tool. This is useful if we have several different groups of
+tests we want to run independently, or if we want to use pre-defined
+test configs for certain subsystems.
+
+To use a different ``.kunitconfig`` file (such as one
+provided to test a particular subsystem), pass it as an option:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=fs/ext4/.kunitconfig
+
+To view kunit_tool flags (optional command-line arguments), run:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --help
+
+Creating a ``.kunitconfig`` file
+================================
+
+If we want to run a specific set of tests (rather than those listed
+in the KUnit ``defconfig``), we can provide Kconfig options in the
+``.kunitconfig`` file. For default .kunitconfig, see:
+https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/testing/kunit/configs/default.config.
+A ``.kunitconfig`` is a ``minconfig`` (a .config
+generated by running ``make savedefconfig``), used for running a
+specific set of tests. This file contains the regular Kernel configs
+with specific test targets. The ``.kunitconfig`` also
+contains any other config options required by the tests (For example:
+dependencies for features under tests, configs that enable/disable
+certain code blocks, arch configs and so on).
+
+To create a ``.kunitconfig``, using the KUnit ``defconfig``:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ cd $PATH_TO_LINUX_REPO
+ cp tools/testing/kunit/configs/default.config .kunit/.kunitconfig
+
+We can then add any other Kconfig options. For example:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ CONFIG_LIST_KUNIT_TEST=y
+
+kunit_tool ensures that all config options in ``.kunitconfig`` are
+set in the kernel ``.config`` before running the tests. It warns if we
+have not included the options dependencies.
+
+.. note:: Removing something from the ``.kunitconfig`` will
+ not rebuild the ``.config file``. The configuration is only
+ updated if the ``.kunitconfig`` is not a subset of ``.config``.
+ This means that we can use other tools
+ (For example: ``make menuconfig``) to adjust other config options.
+ The build dir needs to be set for ``make menuconfig`` to
+ work, therefore by default use ``make O=.kunit menuconfig``.
+
+Configuring, building, and running tests
+========================================
+
+If we want to make manual changes to the KUnit build process, we
+can run part of the KUnit build process independently.
+When running kunit_tool, from a ``.kunitconfig``, we can generate a
+``.config`` by using the ``config`` argument:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config
+
+To build a KUnit kernel from the current ``.config``, we can use the
+``build`` argument:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build
+
+If we already have built UML kernel with built-in KUnit tests, we
+can run the kernel, and display the test results with the ``exec``
+argument:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec
+
+The ``run`` command discussed in section: **Running tests with kunit_tool**,
+is equivalent to running the above three commands in sequence.
+
+Parsing test results
+====================
+
+KUnit tests output displays results in TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
+format. When running tests, kunit_tool parses this output and prints
+a summary. To see the raw test results in TAP format, we can pass the
+``--raw_output`` argument:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --raw_output
+
+If we have KUnit results in the raw TAP format, we can parse them and
+print the human-readable summary with the ``parse`` command for
+kunit_tool. This accepts a filename for an argument, or will read from
+standard input.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # Reading from a file
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py parse /var/log/dmesg
+ # Reading from stdin
+ dmesg | ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py parse
+
+Filtering tests
+===============
+
+By passing a bash style glob filter to the ``exec`` or ``run``
+commands, we can run a subset of the tests built into a kernel . For
+example: if we only want to run KUnit resource tests, use:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run 'kunit-resource*'
+
+This uses the standard glob format with wildcard characters.
+
+.. _kunit-on-qemu:
+
+Running tests on QEMU
+=====================
+
+kunit_tool supports running tests on qemu as well as
+via UML. To run tests on qemu, by default it requires two flags:
+
+- ``--arch``: Selects a configs collection (Kconfig, qemu config options
+ and so on), that allow KUnit tests to be run on the specified
+ architecture in a minimal way. The architecture argument is same as
+ the option name passed to the ``ARCH`` variable used by Kbuild.
+ Not all architectures currently support this flag, but we can use
+ ``--qemu_config`` to handle it. If ``um`` is passed (or this flag
+ is ignored), the tests will run via UML. Non-UML architectures,
+ for example: i386, x86_64, arm and so on; run on qemu.
+
+- ``--cross_compile``: Specifies the Kbuild toolchain. It passes the
+ same argument as passed to the ``CROSS_COMPILE`` variable used by
+ Kbuild. As a reminder, this will be the prefix for the toolchain
+ binaries such as GCC. For example:
+
+ - ``sparc64-linux-gnu`` if we have the sparc toolchain installed on
+ our system.
+
+ - ``$HOME/toolchains/microblaze/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/microblaze-linux/bin/microblaze-linux``
+ if we have downloaded the microblaze toolchain from the 0-day
+ website to a directory in our home directory called toolchains.
+
+This means that for most architectures, running under qemu is as simple as:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=x86_64
+
+When cross-compiling, we'll likely need to specify a different toolchain, for
+example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --arch=s390 \
+ --cross_compile=s390x-linux-gnu-
+
+If we want to run KUnit tests on an architecture not supported by
+the ``--arch`` flag, or want to run KUnit tests on qemu using a
+non-default configuration; then we can write our own``QemuConfig``.
+These ``QemuConfigs`` are written in Python. They have an import line
+``from..qemu_config import QemuArchParams`` at the top of the file.
+The file must contain a variable called ``QEMU_ARCH`` that has an
+instance of ``QemuArchParams`` assigned to it. See example in:
+``tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/x86_64.py``.
+
+Once we have a ``QemuConfig``, we can pass it into kunit_tool,
+using the ``--qemu_config`` flag. When used, this flag replaces the
+``--arch`` flag. For example: using
+``tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/x86_64.py``, the invocation appear
+as
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --timeout=60 \
+ --jobs=12 \
+ --qemu_config=./tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/x86_64.py
+
+Running command-line arguments
+==============================
+
+kunit_tool has a number of other command-line arguments which can
+be useful for our test environment. Below are the most commonly used
+command line arguments:
+
+- ``--help``: Lists all available options. To list common options,
+ place ``--help`` before the command. To list options specific to that
+ command, place ``--help`` after the command.
+
+ .. note:: Different commands (``config``, ``build``, ``run``, etc)
+ have different supported options.
+- ``--build_dir``: Specifies kunit_tool build directory. It includes
+ the ``.kunitconfig``, ``.config`` files and compiled kernel.
+
+- ``--make_options``: Specifies additional options to pass to make, when
+ compiling a kernel (using ``build`` or ``run`` commands). For example:
+ to enable compiler warnings, we can pass ``--make_options W=1``.
+
+- ``--alltests``: Enable a predefined set of options in order to build
+ as many tests as possible.
+
+ .. note:: The list of enabled options can be found in
+ ``tools/testing/kunit/configs/all_tests.config``.
+
+ If you only want to enable all tests with otherwise satisfied
+ dependencies, instead add ``CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y`` to your
+ ``.kunitconfig``.
+
+- ``--kunitconfig``: Specifies the path or the directory of the ``.kunitconfig``
+ file. For example:
+
+ - ``lib/kunit/.kunitconfig`` can be the path of the file.
+
+ - ``lib/kunit`` can be the directory in which the file is located.
+
+ This file is used to build and run with a predefined set of tests
+ and their dependencies. For example, to run tests for a given subsystem.
+
+- ``--kconfig_add``: Specifies additional configuration options to be
+ appended to the ``.kunitconfig`` file. For example:
+
+ .. code-block::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kconfig_add CONFIG_KASAN=y
+
+- ``--arch``: Runs tests on the specified architecture. The architecture
+ argument is same as the Kbuild ARCH environment variable.
+ For example, i386, x86_64, arm, um, etc. Non-UML architectures run on qemu.
+ Default is `um`.
+
+- ``--cross_compile``: Specifies the Kbuild toolchain. It passes the
+ same argument as passed to the ``CROSS_COMPILE`` variable used by
+ Kbuild. This will be the prefix for the toolchain
+ binaries such as GCC. For example:
+
+ - ``sparc64-linux-gnu-`` if we have the sparc toolchain installed on
+ our system.
+
+ - ``$HOME/toolchains/microblaze/gcc-9.2.0-nolibc/microblaze-linux/bin/microblaze-linux``
+ if we have downloaded the microblaze toolchain from the 0-day
+ website to a specified path in our home directory called toolchains.
+
+- ``--qemu_config``: Specifies the path to a file containing a
+ custom qemu architecture definition. This should be a python file
+ containing a `QemuArchParams` object.
+
+- ``--qemu_args``: Specifies additional qemu arguments, for example, ``-smp 8``.
+
+- ``--jobs``: Specifies the number of jobs (commands) to run simultaneously.
+ By default, this is set to the number of cores on your system.
+
+- ``--timeout``: Specifies the maximum number of seconds allowed for all tests to run.
+ This does not include the time taken to build the tests.
+
+- ``--kernel_args``: Specifies additional kernel command-line arguments. May be repeated.
+
+- ``--run_isolated``: If set, boots the kernel for each individual suite/test.
+ This is useful for debugging a non-hermetic test, one that
+ might pass/fail based on what ran before it.
+
+- ``--raw_output``: If set, generates unformatted output from kernel. Possible options are:
+
+ - ``all``: To view the full kernel output, use ``--raw_output=all``.
+
+ - ``kunit``: This is the default option and filters to KUnit output. Use ``--raw_output`` or ``--raw_output=kunit``.
+
+- ``--json``: If set, stores the test results in a JSON format and prints to `stdout` or
+ saves to a file if a filename is specified.
+
+- ``--filter``: Specifies filters on test attributes, for example, ``speed!=slow``.
+ Multiple filters can be used by wrapping input in quotes and separating filters
+ by commas. Example: ``--filter "speed>slow, module=example"``.
+
+- ``--filter_action``: If set to ``skip``, filtered tests will be shown as skipped
+ in the output rather than showing no output.
+
+- ``--list_tests``: If set, lists all tests that will be run.
+
+- ``--list_tests_attr``: If set, lists all tests that will be run and all of their
+ attributes.

+============================
+Tips For Running KUnit Tests
+============================
+
+Using ``kunit.py run`` ("kunit tool")
+=====================================
+
+Running from any directory
+--------------------------
+
+It can be handy to create a bash function like:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ function run_kunit() {
+ ( cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run "$@" )
+ }
+
+.. note::
+ Early versions of ``kunit.py`` (before 5.6) didn't work unless run from
+ the kernel root, hence the use of a subshell and ``cd``.
+
+Running a subset of tests
+-------------------------
+
+``kunit.py run`` accepts an optional glob argument to filter tests. The format
+is ``"<suite_glob>[.test_glob]"``.
+
+Say that we wanted to run the sysctl tests, we could do so via:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ echo -e 'CONFIG_KUNIT=y\nCONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y' > .kunit/.kunitconfig
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run 'sysctl*'
+
+We can filter down to just the "write" tests via:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ echo -e 'CONFIG_KUNIT=y\nCONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y' > .kunit/.kunitconfig
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run 'sysctl*.*write*'
+
+We're paying the cost of building more tests than we need this way, but it's
+easier than fiddling with ``.kunitconfig`` files or commenting out
+``kunit_suite``'s.
+
+However, if we wanted to define a set of tests in a less ad hoc way, the next
+tip is useful.
+
+Defining a set of tests
+-----------------------
+
+``kunit.py run`` (along with ``build``, and ``config``) supports a
+``--kunitconfig`` flag. So if you have a set of tests that you want to run on a
+regular basis (especially if they have other dependencies), you can create a
+specific ``.kunitconfig`` for them.
+
+E.g. kunit has one for its tests:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit/.kunitconfig
+
+Alternatively, if you're following the convention of naming your
+file ``.kunitconfig``, you can just pass in the dir, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit
+
+.. note::
+ This is a relatively new feature (5.12+) so we don't have any
+ conventions yet about on what files should be checked in versus just
+ kept around locally. It's up to you and your maintainer to decide if a
+ config is useful enough to submit (and therefore have to maintain).
+
+.. note::
+ Having ``.kunitconfig`` fragments in a parent and child directory is
+ iffy. There's discussion about adding an "import" statement in these
+ files to make it possible to have a top-level config run tests from all
+ child directories. But that would mean ``.kunitconfig`` files are no
+ longer just simple .config fragments.
+
+ One alternative would be to have kunit tool recursively combine configs
+ automagically, but tests could theoretically depend on incompatible
+ options, so handling that would be tricky.
+
+Setting kernel commandline parameters
+-------------------------------------
+
+You can use ``--kernel_args`` to pass arbitrary kernel arguments, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kernel_args=param=42 --kernel_args=param2=false
+
+
+Generating code coverage reports under UML
+------------------------------------------
+
+.. note::
+ TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): There are various issues with UML and
+ versions of gcc 7 and up. You're likely to run into missing ``.gcda``
+ files or compile errors.
+
+This is different from the "normal" way of getting coverage information that is
+documented in Documentation/dev-tools/gcov.rst.
+
+Instead of enabling ``CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y``, we can set these options:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y
+ CONFIG_GCOV=y
+
+
+Putting it together into a copy-pastable sequence of commands:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # Append coverage options to the current config
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=.kunit/ --kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/coverage_uml.config
+ # Extract the coverage information from the build dir (.kunit/)
+ $ lcov -t "my_kunit_tests" -o coverage.info -c -d .kunit/
+
+ # From here on, it's the same process as with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
+ # E.g. can generate an HTML report in a tmp dir like so:
+ $ genhtml -o /tmp/coverage_html coverage.info
+
+
+If your installed version of gcc doesn't work, you can tweak the steps:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --make_options=CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6
+ $ lcov -t "my_kunit_tests" -o coverage.info -c -d .kunit/ --gcov-tool=/usr/bin/gcov-6
+
+
+Running tests manually
+======================
+
+Running tests without using ``kunit.py run`` is also an important use case.
+Currently it's your only option if you want to test on architectures other than
+UML.
+
+As running the tests under UML is fairly straightforward (configure and compile
+the kernel, run the ``./linux`` binary), this section will focus on testing
+non-UML architectures.
+
+
+Running built-in tests
+----------------------
+
+When setting tests to ``=y``, the tests will run as part of boot and print
+results to dmesg in TAP format. So you just need to add your tests to your
+``.config``, build and boot your kernel as normal.
+
+So if we compiled our kernel with:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_KUNIT=y
+ CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=y
+
+Then we'd see output like this in dmesg signaling the test ran and passed:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ TAP version 14
+ 1..1
+ # Subtest: example
+ 1..1
+ # example_simple_test: initializing
+ ok 1 - example_simple_test
+ ok 1 - example
+
+Running tests as modules
+------------------------
+
+Depending on the tests, you can build them as loadable modules.
+
+For example, we'd change the config options from before to
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_KUNIT=y
+ CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=m
+
+Then after booting into our kernel, we can run the test via
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ $ modprobe kunit-example-test
+
+This will then cause it to print TAP output to stdout.
+
+.. note::
+ The ``modprobe`` will *not* have a non-zero exit code if any test
+ failed (as of 5.13). But ``kunit.py parse`` would, see below.
+
+.. note::
+ You can set ``CONFIG_KUNIT=m`` as well, however, some features will not
+ work and thus some tests might break. Ideally tests would specify they
+ depend on ``KUNIT=y`` in their ``Kconfig``'s, but this is an edge case
+ most test authors won't think about.
+ As of 5.13, the only difference is that ``current->kunit_test`` will
+ not exist.
+
+Pretty-printing results
+-----------------------
+
+You can use ``kunit.py parse`` to parse dmesg for test output and print out
+results in the same familiar format that ``kunit.py run`` does.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py parse /var/log/dmesg
+
+
+Retrieving per suite results
+----------------------------
+
+Regardless of how you're running your tests, you can enable
+``CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS`` to expose per-suite TAP-formatted results:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_KUNIT=y
+ CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=m
+ CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS=y
+
+The results for each suite will be exposed under
+``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<suite>/results``.
+So using our example config:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ modprobe kunit-example-test > /dev/null
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/example/results
+ ... <TAP output> ...
+
+ # After removing the module, the corresponding files will go away
+ $ modprobe -r kunit-example-test
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/example/results
+ /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/example/results: No such file or directory
+
+Generating code coverage reports
+--------------------------------
+
+See Documentation/dev-tools/gcov.rst for details on how to do this.
+
+The only vaguely KUnit-specific advice here is that you probably want to build
+your tests as modules. That way you can isolate the coverage from tests from
+other code executed during boot, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # Reset coverage counters before running the test.
+ $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset
+ $ modprobe kunit-example-test
+
+
+Test Attributes and Filtering
+=============================
+
+Test suites and cases can be marked with test attributes, such as speed of
+test. These attributes will later be printed in test output and can be used to
+filter test execution.
+
+Marking Test Attributes
+-----------------------
+
+Tests are marked with an attribute by including a ``kunit_attributes`` object
+in the test definition.
+
+Test cases can be marked using the ``KUNIT_CASE_ATTR(test_name, attributes)``
+macro to define the test case instead of ``KUNIT_CASE(test_name)``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct kunit_attributes example_attr = {
+ .speed = KUNIT_VERY_SLOW,
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE_ATTR(example_test, example_attr),
+ };
+
+.. note::
+ To mark a test case as slow, you can also use ``KUNIT_CASE_SLOW(test_name)``.
+ This is a helpful macro as the slow attribute is the most commonly used.
+
+Test suites can be marked with an attribute by setting the "attr" field in the
+suite definition.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static const struct kunit_attributes example_attr = {
+ .speed = KUNIT_VERY_SLOW,
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = {
+ ...,
+ .attr = example_attr,
+ };
+
+.. note::
+ Not all attributes need to be set in a ``kunit_attributes`` object. Unset
+ attributes will remain uninitialized and act as though the attribute is set
+ to 0 or NULL. Thus, if an attribute is set to 0, it is treated as unset.
+ These unset attributes will not be reported and may act as a default value
+ for filtering purposes.
+
+Reporting Attributes
+--------------------
+
+When a user runs tests, attributes will be present in the raw kernel output (in
+KTAP format). Note that attributes will be hidden by default in kunit.py output
+for all passing tests but the raw kernel output can be accessed using the
+``--raw_output`` flag. This is an example of how test attributes for test cases
+will be formatted in kernel output:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # example_test.speed: slow
+ ok 1 example_test
+
+This is an example of how test attributes for test suites will be formatted in
+kernel output:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ KTAP version 2
+ # Subtest: example_suite
+ # module: kunit_example_test
+ 1..3
+ ...
+ ok 1 example_suite
+
+Additionally, users can output a full attribute report of tests with their
+attributes, using the command line flag ``--list_tests_attr``:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ kunit.py run "example" --list_tests_attr
+
+.. note::
+ This report can be accessed when running KUnit manually by passing in the
+ module_param ``kunit.action=list_attr``.
+
+Filtering
+---------
+
+Users can filter tests using the ``--filter`` command line flag when running
+tests. As an example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ kunit.py run --filter speed=slow
+
+
+You can also use the following operations on filters: "<", ">", "<=", ">=",
+"!=", and "=". Example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ kunit.py run --filter "speed>slow"
+
+This example will run all tests with speeds faster than slow. Note that the
+characters < and > are often interpreted by the shell, so they may need to be
+quoted or escaped, as above.
+
+Additionally, you can use multiple filters at once. Simply separate filters
+using commas. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ kunit.py run --filter "speed>slow, module=kunit_example_test"
+
+.. note::
+ You can use this filtering feature when running KUnit manually by passing
+ the filter as a module param: ``kunit.filter="speed>slow, speed<=normal"``.
+
+Filtered tests will not run or show up in the test output. You can use the
+``--filter_action=skip`` flag to skip filtered tests instead. These tests will be
+shown in the test output in the test but will not run. To use this feature when
+running KUnit manually, use the module param ``kunit.filter_action=skip``.
+
+Rules of Filtering Procedure
+----------------------------
+
+Since both suites and test cases can have attributes, there may be conflicts
+between attributes during filtering. The process of filtering follows these
+rules:
+
+- Filtering always operates at a per-test level.
+
+- If a test has an attribute set, then the test's value is filtered on.
+
+- Otherwise, the value falls back to the suite's value.
+
+- If neither are set, the attribute has a global "default" value, which is used.
+
+List of Current Attributes
+--------------------------
+
+``speed``
+
+This attribute indicates the speed of a test's execution (how slow or fast the
+test is).
+
+This attribute is saved as an enum with the following categories: "normal",
+"slow", or "very_slow". The assumed default speed for tests is "normal". This
+indicates that the test takes a relatively trivial amount of time (less than
+1 second), regardless of the machine it is running on. Any test slower than
+this could be marked as "slow" or "very_slow".
+
+The macro ``KUNIT_CASE_SLOW(test_name)`` can be easily used to set the speed
+of a test case to "slow".
+
+``module``
+
+This attribute indicates the name of the module associated with the test.
+
+This attribute is automatically saved as a string and is printed for each suite.
+Tests can also be filtered using this attribute.

+===============
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+This page contains an overview of the kunit_tool and KUnit framework,
+teaching how to run existing tests and then how to write a simple test case,
+and covers common problems users face when using KUnit for the first time.
+
+Installing Dependencies
+=======================
+KUnit has the same dependencies as the Linux kernel. As long as you can
+build the kernel, you can run KUnit.
+
+Running tests with kunit_tool
+=============================
+kunit_tool is a Python script, which configures and builds a kernel, runs
+tests, and formats the test results. From the kernel repository, you
+can run kunit_tool:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
+
+.. note ::
+ You may see the following error:
+ "The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper'"
+
+ This happens because internally kunit.py specifies ``.kunit``
+ (default option) as the build directory in the command ``make O=output/dir``
+ through the argument ``--build_dir``. Hence, before starting an
+ out-of-tree build, the source tree must be clean.
+
+ There is also the same caveat mentioned in the "Build directory for
+ the kernel" section of the :doc:`admin-guide </admin-guide/README>`,
+ that is, its use, it must be used for all invocations of ``make``.
+ The good news is that it can indeed be solved by running
+ ``make ARCH=um mrproper``, just be aware that this will delete the
+ current configuration and all generated files.
+
+If everything worked correctly, you should see the following:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ Configuring KUnit Kernel ...
+ Building KUnit Kernel ...
+ Starting KUnit Kernel ...
+
+The tests will pass or fail.
+
+.. note ::
+ Because it is building a lot of sources for the first time,
+ the ``Building KUnit Kernel`` step may take a while.
+
+For detailed information on this wrapper, see:
+Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/run_wrapper.rst.
+
+Selecting which tests to run
+----------------------------
+
+By default, kunit_tool runs all tests reachable with minimal configuration,
+that is, using default values for most of the kconfig options. However,
+you can select which tests to run by:
+
+- `Customizing Kconfig`_ used to compile the kernel, or
+- `Filtering tests by name`_ to select specifically which compiled tests to run.
+
+Customizing Kconfig
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A good starting point for the ``.kunitconfig`` is the KUnit default config.
+If you didn't run ``kunit.py run`` yet, you can generate it by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd $PATH_TO_LINUX_REPO
+ tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config
+ cat .kunit/.kunitconfig
+
+.. note ::
+ ``.kunitconfig`` lives in the ``--build_dir`` used by kunit.py, which is
+ ``.kunit`` by default.
+
+Before running the tests, kunit_tool ensures that all config options
+set in ``.kunitconfig`` are set in the kernel ``.config``. It will warn
+you if you have not included dependencies for the options used.
+
+There are many ways to customize the configurations:
+
+a. Edit ``.kunit/.kunitconfig``. The file should contain the list of kconfig
+ options required to run the desired tests, including their dependencies.
+ You may want to remove CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS from the ``.kunitconfig`` as
+ it will enable a number of additional tests that you may not want.
+ If you need to run on an architecture other than UML see :ref:`kunit-on-qemu`.
+
+b. Enable additional kconfig options on top of ``.kunit/.kunitconfig``.
+ For example, to include the kernel's linked-list test you can run::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kconfig_add CONFIG_LIST_KUNIT_TEST=y
+
+c. Provide the path of one or more .kunitconfig files from the tree.
+ For example, to run only ``FAT_FS`` and ``EXT4`` tests you can run::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kunitconfig ./fs/fat/.kunitconfig \
+ --kunitconfig ./fs/ext4/.kunitconfig
+
+d. If you change the ``.kunitconfig``, kunit.py will trigger a rebuild of the
+ ``.config`` file. But you can edit the ``.config`` file directly or with
+ tools like ``make menuconfig O=.kunit``. As long as its a superset of
+ ``.kunitconfig``, kunit.py won't overwrite your changes.
+
+
+.. note ::
+
+ To save a .kunitconfig after finding a satisfactory configuration::
+
+ make savedefconfig O=.kunit

+
+Filtering tests by name
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you want to be more specific than Kconfig can provide, it is also possible
+to select which tests to execute at boot-time by passing a glob filter
+(read instructions regarding the pattern in the manpage :manpage:`glob(7)`).
+If there is a ``"."`` (period) in the filter, it will be interpreted as a
+separator between the name of the test suite and the test case,
+otherwise, it will be interpreted as the name of the test suite.
+For example, let's assume we are using the default config:
+
+a. inform the name of a test suite, like ``"kunit_executor_test"``,
+ to run every test case it contains::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run "kunit_executor_test"
+
+b. inform the name of a test case prefixed by its test suite,
+ like ``"example.example_simple_test"``, to run specifically that test case::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run "example.example_simple_test"
+
+c. use wildcard characters (``*?[``) to run any test case that matches the pattern,
+ like ``"*.*64*"`` to run test cases containing ``"64"`` in the name inside
+ any test suite::
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run "*.*64*"
+
+Running Tests without the KUnit Wrapper
+=======================================
+If you do not want to use the KUnit Wrapper (for example: you want code
+under test to integrate with other systems, or use a different/
+unsupported architecture or configuration), KUnit can be included in
+any kernel, and the results are read out and parsed manually.
+
+.. note ::
+ ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` should not be enabled in a production environment.
+ Enabling KUnit disables Kernel Address-Space Layout Randomization
+ (KASLR), and tests may affect the state of the kernel in ways not
+ suitable for production.
+
+Configuring the Kernel
+----------------------
+To enable KUnit itself, you need to enable the ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` Kconfig
+option (under Kernel Hacking/Kernel Testing and Coverage in
+``menuconfig``). From there, you can enable any KUnit tests. They
+usually have config options ending in ``_KUNIT_TEST``.
+
+KUnit and KUnit tests can be compiled as modules. The tests in a module
+will run when the module is loaded.
+
+Running Tests (without KUnit Wrapper)
+-------------------------------------
+Build and run your kernel. In the kernel log, the test output is printed
+out in the TAP format. This will only happen by default if KUnit/tests
+are built-in. Otherwise the module will need to be loaded.
+
+.. note ::
+ Some lines and/or data may get interspersed in the TAP output.
+
+Writing Your First Test
+=======================
+In your kernel repository, let's add some code that we can test.
+
+1. Create a file ``drivers/misc/example.h``, which includes:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int misc_example_add(int left, int right);
+
+2. Create a file ``drivers/misc/example.c``, which includes:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/errno.h>
+
+ #include "example.h"
+
+ int misc_example_add(int left, int right)
+ {
+ return left + right;
+ }
+
+3. Add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Kconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: kconfig
+
+ config MISC_EXAMPLE
+ bool "My example"
+
+4. Add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Makefile``:
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+ obj-$(CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE) += example.o
+
+Now we are ready to write the test cases.
+
+1. Add the below test case in ``drivers/misc/example_test.c``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <kunit/test.h>
+ #include "example.h"
+
+ /* Define the test cases. */
+
+ static void misc_example_add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, misc_example_add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, misc_example_add(1, 1));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, misc_example_add(-1, 1));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MAX, misc_example_add(0, INT_MAX));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -1, misc_example_add(INT_MAX, INT_MIN));
+ }
+
+ static void misc_example_test_failure(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "This test never passes.");
+ }
+
+ static struct kunit_case misc_example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE(misc_example_add_test_basic),
+ KUNIT_CASE(misc_example_test_failure),
+ {}
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_suite misc_example_test_suite = {
+ .name = "misc-example",
+ .test_cases = misc_example_test_cases,
+ };
+ kunit_test_suite(misc_example_test_suite);
+
+ MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
+
+2. Add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Kconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: kconfig
+
+ config MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST
+ tristate "Test for my example" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+ depends on MISC_EXAMPLE && KUNIT
+ default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+
+Note: If your test does not support being built as a loadable module (which is
+discouraged), replace tristate by bool, and depend on KUNIT=y instead of KUNIT.
+
+3. Add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Makefile``:
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+ obj-$(CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST) += example_test.o
+
+4. Add the following lines to ``.kunit/.kunitconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE=y
+ CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST=y
+
+5. Run the test:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
+
+You should see the following failure:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ...
+ [16:08:57] [PASSED] misc-example:misc_example_add_test_basic
+ [16:08:57] [FAILED] misc-example:misc_example_test_failure
+ [16:08:57] EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/misc/example-test.c:17
+ [16:08:57] This test never passes.
+ ...
+
+Congrats! You just wrote your first KUnit test.

+===========================
+Test Style and Nomenclature
+===========================
+
+To make finding, writing, and using KUnit tests as simple as possible, it is
+strongly encouraged that they are named and written according to the guidelines
+below. While it is possible to write KUnit tests which do not follow these rules,
+they may break some tooling, may conflict with other tests, and may not be run
+automatically by testing systems.
+
+It is recommended that you only deviate from these guidelines when:
+
+1. Porting tests to KUnit which are already known with an existing name.
+2. Writing tests which would cause serious problems if automatically run. For
+ example, non-deterministically producing false positives or negatives, or
+ taking a long time to run.
+
+Subsystems, Suites, and Tests
+=============================
+
+To make tests easy to find, they are grouped into suites and subsystems. A test
+suite is a group of tests which test a related area of the kernel. A subsystem
+is a set of test suites which test different parts of a kernel subsystem
+or a driver.
+
+Subsystems
+----------
+
+Every test suite must belong to a subsystem. A subsystem is a collection of one
+or more KUnit test suites which test the same driver or part of the kernel. A
+test subsystem should match a single kernel module. If the code being tested
+cannot be compiled as a module, in many cases the subsystem should correspond to
+a directory in the source tree or an entry in the ``MAINTAINERS`` file. If
+unsure, follow the conventions set by tests in similar areas.
+
+Test subsystems should be named after the code being tested, either after the
+module (wherever possible), or after the directory or files being tested. Test
+subsystems should be named to avoid ambiguity where necessary.
+
+If a test subsystem name has multiple components, they should be separated by
+underscores. *Do not* include "test" or "kunit" directly in the subsystem name
+unless we are actually testing other tests or the kunit framework itself. For
+example, subsystems could be called:
+
+``ext4``
+ Matches the module and filesystem name.
+``apparmor``
+ Matches the module name and LSM name.
+``kasan``
+ Common name for the tool, prominent part of the path ``mm/kasan``
+``snd_hda_codec_hdmi``
+ Has several components (``snd``, ``hda``, ``codec``, ``hdmi``) separated by
+ underscores. Matches the module name.
+
+Avoid names as shown in examples below:
+
+``linear-ranges``
+ Names should use underscores, not dashes, to separate words. Prefer
+ ``linear_ranges``.
+``qos-kunit-test``
+ This name should use underscores, and not have "kunit-test" as a
+ suffix. ``qos`` is also ambiguous as a subsystem name, because several parts
+ of the kernel have a ``qos`` subsystem. ``power_qos`` would be a better name.
+``pc_parallel_port``
+ The corresponding module name is ``parport_pc``, so this subsystem should also
+ be named ``parport_pc``.
+
+.. note::
+ The KUnit API and tools do not explicitly know about subsystems. They are
+ a way of categorizing test suites and naming modules which provides a
+ simple, consistent way for humans to find and run tests. This may change
+ in the future.
+
+Suites
+------
+
+KUnit tests are grouped into test suites, which cover a specific area of
+functionality being tested. Test suites can have shared initialization and
+shutdown code which is run for all tests in the suite. Not all subsystems need
+to be split into multiple test suites (for example, simple drivers).
+
+Test suites are named after the subsystem they are part of. If a subsystem
+contains several suites, the specific area under test should be appended to the
+subsystem name, separated by an underscore.
+
+In the event that there are multiple types of test using KUnit within a
+subsystem (for example, both unit tests and integration tests), they should be
+put into separate suites, with the type of test as the last element in the suite
+name. Unless these tests are actually present, avoid using ``_test``, ``_unittest``
+or similar in the suite name.
+
+The full test suite name (including the subsystem name) should be specified as
+the ``.name`` member of the ``kunit_suite`` struct, and forms the base for the
+module name. For example, test suites could include:
+
+``ext4_inode``
+ Part of the ``ext4`` subsystem, testing the ``inode`` area.
+``kunit_try_catch``
+ Part of the ``kunit`` implementation itself, testing the ``try_catch`` area.
+``apparmor_property_entry``
+ Part of the ``apparmor`` subsystem, testing the ``property_entry`` area.
+``kasan``
+ The ``kasan`` subsystem has only one suite, so the suite name is the same as
+ the subsystem name.
+
+Avoid names, for example:
+
+``ext4_ext4_inode``
+ There is no reason to state the subsystem twice.
+``property_entry``
+ The suite name is ambiguous without the subsystem name.
+``kasan_integration_test``
+ Because there is only one suite in the ``kasan`` subsystem, the suite should
+ just be called as ``kasan``. Do not redundantly add
+ ``integration_test``. It should be a separate test suite. For example, if the
+ unit tests are added, then that suite could be named as ``kasan_unittest`` or
+ similar.
+
+Test Cases
+----------
+
+Individual tests consist of a single function which tests a constrained
+codepath, property, or function. In the test output, an individual test's
+results will show up as subtests of the suite's results.
+
+Tests should be named after what they are testing. This is often the name of the
+function being tested, with a description of the input or codepath being tested.
+As tests are C functions, they should be named and written in accordance with
+the kernel coding style.
+
+.. note::
+ As tests are themselves functions, their names cannot conflict with
+ other C identifiers in the kernel. This may require some creative
+ naming. It is a good idea to make your test functions `static` to avoid
+ polluting the global namespace.
+
+Example test names include:
+
+``unpack_u32_with_null_name``
+ Tests the ``unpack_u32`` function when a NULL name is passed in.
+``test_list_splice``
+ Tests the ``list_splice`` macro. It has the prefix ``test_`` to avoid a
+ name conflict with the macro itself.
+
+
+Should it be necessary to refer to a test outside the context of its test suite,
+the *fully-qualified* name of a test should be the suite name followed by the
+test name, separated by a colon (i.e. ``suite:test``).
+
+Test Kconfig Entries
+====================
+
+Every test suite should be tied to a Kconfig entry.
+
+This Kconfig entry must:
+
+* be named ``CONFIG_<name>_KUNIT_TEST``: where <name> is the name of the test
+ suite.
+* be listed either alongside the config entries for the driver/subsystem being
+ tested, or be under [Kernel Hacking]->[Kernel Testing and Coverage]
+* depend on ``CONFIG_KUNIT``.
+* be visible only if ``CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS`` is not enabled.
+* have a default value of ``CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS``.
+* have a brief description of KUnit in the help text.
+
+If we are not able to meet above conditions (for example, the test is unable to
+be built as a module), Kconfig entries for tests should be tristate.
+
+For example, a Kconfig entry might look like:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ config FOO_KUNIT_TEST
+ tristate "KUnit test for foo" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+ depends on KUNIT
+ default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+ help
+ This builds unit tests for foo.
+
+ For more information on KUnit and unit tests in general,
+ please refer to the KUnit documentation in Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+
+Test File and Module Names
+==========================
+
+KUnit tests can often be compiled as a module. These modules should be named
+after the test suite, followed by ``_test``. If this is likely to conflict with
+non-KUnit tests, the suffix ``_kunit`` can also be used.
+
+The easiest way of achieving this is to name the file containing the test suite
+``<suite>_test.c`` (or, as above, ``<suite>_kunit.c``). This file should be
+placed next to the code under test.
+
+If the suite name contains some or all of the name of the test's parent
+directory, it may make sense to modify the source filename to reduce redundancy.
+For example, a ``foo_firmware`` suite could be in the ``foo/firmware_test.c``
+file.

+
+Writing Tests
+=============
+
+Test Cases
+----------
+
+The fundamental unit in KUnit is the test case. A test case is a function with
+the signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. It calls the function under test
+and then sets *expectations* for what should happen. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void example_test_success(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ }
+
+ void example_test_failure(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "This test never passes.");
+ }
+
+In the above example, ``example_test_success`` always passes because it does
+nothing; no expectations are set, and therefore all expectations pass. On the
+other hand ``example_test_failure`` always fails because it calls ``KUNIT_FAIL``,
+which is a special expectation that logs a message and causes the test case to
+fail.
+
+Expectations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+An *expectation* specifies that we expect a piece of code to do something in a
+test. An expectation is called like a function. A test is made by setting
+expectations about the behavior of a piece of code under test. When one or more
+expectations fail, the test case fails and information about the failure is
+logged. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
+ }
+
+In the above example, ``add_test_basic`` makes a number of assertions about the
+behavior of a function called ``add``. The first parameter is always of type
+``struct kunit *``, which contains information about the current test context.
+The second parameter, in this case, is what the value is expected to be. The
+last value is what the value actually is. If ``add`` passes all of these
+expectations, the test case, ``add_test_basic`` will pass; if any one of these
+expectations fails, the test case will fail.
+
+A test case *fails* when any expectation is violated; however, the test will
+continue to run, and try other expectations until the test case ends or is
+otherwise terminated. This is as opposed to *assertions* which are discussed
+later.
+
+To learn about more KUnit expectations, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.
+
+.. note::
+ A single test case should be short, easy to understand, and focused on a
+ single behavior.
+
+For example, if we want to rigorously test the ``add`` function above, create
+additional tests cases which would test each property that an ``add`` function
+should have as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_negative(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, add(-1, 1));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_max(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MAX, add(0, INT_MAX));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -1, add(INT_MAX, INT_MIN));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_overflow(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MIN, add(INT_MAX, 1));
+ }
+
+Assertions
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+An assertion is like an expectation, except that the assertion immediately
+terminates the test case if the condition is not satisfied. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void test_sort(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ int *a, i, r = 1;
+ a = kunit_kmalloc_array(test, TEST_LEN, sizeof(*a), GFP_KERNEL);
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, a);
+ for (i = 0; i < TEST_LEN; i++) {
+ r = (r * 725861) % 6599;
+ a[i] = r;
+ }
+ sort(a, TEST_LEN, sizeof(*a), cmpint, NULL);
+ for (i = 0; i < TEST_LEN-1; i++)
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_LE(test, a[i], a[i + 1]);
+ }
+
+In this example, we need to be able to allocate an array to test the ``sort()``
+function. So we use ``KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL()`` to abort the test if
+there's an allocation error.
+
+.. note::
+ In other test frameworks, ``ASSERT`` macros are often implemented by calling
+ ``return`` so they only work from the test function. In KUnit, we stop the
+ current kthread on failure, so you can call them from anywhere.
+
+.. note::
+ Warning: There is an exception to the above rule. You shouldn't use assertions
+ in the suite's exit() function, or in the free function for a resource. These
+ run when a test is shutting down, and an assertion here prevents further
+ cleanup code from running, potentially leading to a memory leak.
+
+Customizing error messages
+--------------------------
+
+Each of the ``KUNIT_EXPECT`` and ``KUNIT_ASSERT`` macros have a ``_MSG``
+variant. These take a format string and arguments to provide additional
+context to the automatically generated error messages.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ char some_str[41];
+ generate_sha1_hex_string(some_str);
+
+ /* Before. Not easy to tell why the test failed. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, strlen(some_str), 40);
+
+ /* After. Now we see the offending string. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ_MSG(test, strlen(some_str), 40, "some_str='%s'", some_str);
+
+Alternatively, one can take full control over the error message by using
+``KUNIT_FAIL()``, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Before */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, some_setup_function(), 0);
+
+ /* After: full control over the failure message. */
+ if (some_setup_function())
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "Failed to setup thing for testing");
+
+
+Test Suites
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We need many test cases covering all the unit's behaviors. It is common to have
+many similar tests. In order to reduce duplication in these closely related
+tests, most unit testing frameworks (including KUnit) provide the concept of a
+*test suite*. A test suite is a collection of test cases for a unit of code
+with optional setup and teardown functions that run before/after the whole
+suite and/or every test case.
+
+.. note::
+ A test case will only run if it is associated with a test suite.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz),
+ {}
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = {
+ .name = "example",
+ .init = example_test_init,
+ .exit = example_test_exit,
+ .suite_init = example_suite_init,
+ .suite_exit = example_suite_exit,
+ .test_cases = example_test_cases,
+ };
+ kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite);
+
+In the above example, the test suite ``example_test_suite`` would first run
+``example_suite_init``, then run the test cases ``example_test_foo``,
+``example_test_bar``, and ``example_test_baz``. Each would have
+``example_test_init`` called immediately before it and ``example_test_exit``
+called immediately after it. Finally, ``example_suite_exit`` would be called
+after everything else. ``kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite)`` registers the
+test suite with the KUnit test framework.
+
+.. note::
+ The ``exit`` and ``suite_exit`` functions will run even if ``init`` or
+ ``suite_init`` fail. Make sure that they can handle any inconsistent
+ state which may result from ``init`` or ``suite_init`` encountering errors
+ or exiting early.
+
+``kunit_test_suite(...)`` is a macro which tells the linker to put the
+specified test suite in a special linker section so that it can be run by KUnit
+either after ``late_init``, or when the test module is loaded (if the test was
+built as a module).
+
+For more information, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.

+
+Writing Tests For Other Architectures
+-------------------------------------
+
+It is better to write tests that run on UML to tests that only run under a
+particular architecture. It is better to write tests that run under QEMU or
+another easy to obtain (and monetarily free) software environment to a specific
+piece of hardware.
+
+Nevertheless, there are still valid reasons to write a test that is architecture
+or hardware specific. For example, we might want to test code that really
+belongs in ``arch/some-arch/*``. Even so, try to write the test so that it does
+not depend on physical hardware. Some of our test cases may not need hardware,
+only few tests actually require the hardware to test it. When hardware is not
+available, instead of disabling tests, we can skip them.
+
+Now that we have narrowed down exactly what bits are hardware specific, the
+actual procedure for writing and running the tests is same as writing normal
+KUnit tests.
+
+.. important::
+ We may have to reset hardware state. If this is not possible, we may only
+ be able to run one test case per invocation.
+
+.. TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): Add an actual example of an architecture-
+ dependent KUnit test.
+
+Common Patterns
+===============
+
+Isolating Behavior
+------------------
+
+Unit testing limits the amount of code under test to a single unit. It controls
+what code gets run when the unit under test calls a function. Where a function
+is exposed as part of an API such that the definition of that function can be
+changed without affecting the rest of the code base. In the kernel, this comes
+from two constructs: classes, which are structs that contain function pointers
+provided by the implementer, and architecture-specific functions, which have
+definitions selected at compile time.
+
+Classes
+~~~~~~~
+
+Classes are not a construct that is built into the C programming language;
+however, it is an easily derived concept. Accordingly, in most cases, every
+project that does not use a standardized object oriented library (like GNOME's
+GObject) has their own slightly different way of doing object oriented
+programming; the Linux kernel is no exception.
+
+The central concept in kernel object oriented programming is the class. In the
+kernel, a *class* is a struct that contains function pointers. This creates a
+contract between *implementers* and *users* since it forces them to use the
+same function signature without having to call the function directly. To be a
+class, the function pointers must specify that a pointer to the class, known as
+a *class handle*, be one of the parameters. Thus the member functions (also
+known as *methods*) have access to member variables (also known as *fields*)
+allowing the same implementation to have multiple *instances*.
+
+A class can be *overridden* by *child classes* by embedding the *parent class*
+in the child class. Then when the child class *method* is called, the child
+implementation knows that the pointer passed to it is of a parent contained
+within the child. Thus, the child can compute the pointer to itself because the
+pointer to the parent is always a fixed offset from the pointer to the child.
+This offset is the offset of the parent contained in the child struct. For
+example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct shape {
+ int (*area)(struct shape *this);
+ };
+
+ struct rectangle {
+ struct shape parent;
+ int length;
+ int width;
+ };
+
+ int rectangle_area(struct shape *this)
+ {
+ struct rectangle *self = container_of(this, struct rectangle, parent);
+
+ return self->length * self->width;
+ };
+
+ void rectangle_new(struct rectangle *self, int length, int width)
+ {
+ self->parent.area = rectangle_area;
+ self->length = length;
+ self->width = width;
+ }
+
+In this example, computing the pointer to the child from the pointer to the
+parent is done by ``container_of``.
+
+Faking Classes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to unit test a piece of code that calls a method in a class, the
+behavior of the method must be controllable, otherwise the test ceases to be a
+unit test and becomes an integration test.
+
+A fake class implements a piece of code that is different than what runs in a
+production instance, but behaves identical from the standpoint of the callers.
+This is done to replace a dependency that is hard to deal with, or is slow. For
+example, implementing a fake EEPROM that stores the "contents" in an
+internal buffer. Assume we have a class that represents an EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom {
+ ssize_t (*read)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count);
+ ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count);
+ };
+
+And we want to test code that buffers writes to the EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer {
+ ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom_buffer *this, const char *buffer, size_t count);
+ int flush(struct eeprom_buffer *this);
+ size_t flush_count; /* Flushes when buffer exceeds flush_count. */
+ };
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer *new_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);
+ void destroy_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);
+
+We can test this code by *faking out* the underlying EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fake_eeprom {
+ struct eeprom parent;
+ char contents[FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE];
+ };
+
+ ssize_t fake_eeprom_read(struct eeprom *parent, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count)
+ {
+ struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);
+
+ count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
+ memcpy(buffer, this->contents + offset, count);
+
+ return count;
+ }
+
+ ssize_t fake_eeprom_write(struct eeprom *parent, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count)
+ {
+ struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);
+
+ count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
+ memcpy(this->contents + offset, buffer, count);
+
+ return count;
+ }
+
+ void fake_eeprom_init(struct fake_eeprom *this)
+ {
+ this->parent.read = fake_eeprom_read;
+ this->parent.write = fake_eeprom_write;
+ memset(this->contents, 0, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE);
+ }
+
+We can now use it to test ``struct eeprom_buffer``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test {
+ struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom;
+ struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer;
+ };
+
+ static void eeprom_buffer_test_does_not_write_until_flush(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx = test->priv;
+ struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer = ctx->eeprom_buffer;
+ struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom = ctx->fake_eeprom;
+ char buffer[] = {0xff};
+
+ eeprom_buffer->flush_count = SIZE_MAX;
+
+ eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0);
+
+ eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0);
+
+ eeprom_buffer->flush(eeprom_buffer);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0xff);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0xff);
+ }
+
+ static void eeprom_buffer_test_flushes_after_flush_count_met(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx = test->priv;

+ struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom = ctx->fake_eeprom;
+ char buffer[] = {0xff};
+
+ eeprom_buffer->flush_count = 2;
+
+ eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0);
+
+ eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 1);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0xff);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0xff);
+ }
+
+ static void eeprom_buffer_test_flushes_increments_of_flush_count(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx = test->priv;
+ struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer = ctx->eeprom_buffer;
+ struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom = ctx->fake_eeprom;

+

+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0);
+
+ eeprom_buffer->write(eeprom_buffer, buffer, 2);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[0], 0xff);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[1], 0xff);
+ /* Should have only flushed the first two bytes. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_eeprom->contents[2], 0);
+ }
+
+ static int eeprom_buffer_test_init(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx;
+
+ ctx = kunit_kzalloc(test, sizeof(*ctx), GFP_KERNEL);
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, ctx);
+
+ ctx->fake_eeprom = kunit_kzalloc(test, sizeof(*ctx->fake_eeprom), GFP_KERNEL);
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, ctx->fake_eeprom);
+ fake_eeprom_init(ctx->fake_eeprom);
+
+ ctx->eeprom_buffer = new_eeprom_buffer(&ctx->fake_eeprom->parent);
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, ctx->eeprom_buffer);
+
+ test->priv = ctx;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ static void eeprom_buffer_test_exit(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test *ctx = test->priv;
+
+ destroy_eeprom_buffer(ctx->eeprom_buffer);
+ }
+
+Testing Against Multiple Inputs
+-------------------------------
+
+Testing just a few inputs is not enough to ensure that the code works correctly,
+for example: testing a hash function.
+
+We can write a helper macro or function. The function is called for each input.
+For example, to test ``sha1sum(1)``, we can write:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #define TEST_SHA1(in, want) \
+ sha1sum(in, out); \
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, want, "sha1sum(%s)", in);
+
+ char out[40];
+ TEST_SHA1("hello world", "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed");
+ TEST_SHA1("hello world!", "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169");
+
+Note the use of the ``_MSG`` version of ``KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ`` to print a more
+detailed error and make the assertions clearer within the helper macros.
+
+The ``_MSG`` variants are useful when the same expectation is called multiple
+times (in a loop or helper function) and thus the line number is not enough to
+identify what failed, as shown below.
+
+In complicated cases, we recommend using a *table-driven test* compared to the
+helper macro variation, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int i;
+ char out[40];
+
+ struct sha1_test_case {
+ const char *str;
+ const char *sha1;
+ };
+
+ struct sha1_test_case cases[] = {
+ {
+ .str = "hello world",
+ .sha1 = "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed",
+ },
+ {
+ .str = "hello world!",
+ .sha1 = "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169",
+ },
+ };
+ for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(cases); ++i) {
+ sha1sum(cases[i].str, out);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, cases[i].sha1,
+ "sha1sum(%s)", cases[i].str);
+ }
+
+
+There is more boilerplate code involved, but it can:
+
+* be more readable when there are multiple inputs/outputs (due to field names).
+
+ * For example, see ``fs/ext4/inode-test.c``.
+
+* reduce duplication if test cases are shared across multiple tests.
+
+ * For example: if we want to test ``sha256sum``, we could add a ``sha256``
+ field and reuse ``cases``.
+
+* be converted to a "parameterized test".
+
+Parameterized Testing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The table-driven testing pattern is common enough that KUnit has special
+support for it.
+
+By reusing the same ``cases`` array from above, we can write the test as a
+"parameterized test" with the following.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ // This is copy-pasted from above.
+ struct sha1_test_case {
+ const char *str;
+ const char *sha1;
+ };
+ const struct sha1_test_case cases[] = {
+ {
+ .str = "hello world",
+ .sha1 = "2aae6c35c94fcfb415dbe95f408b9ce91ee846ed",
+ },
+ {
+ .str = "hello world!",
+ .sha1 = "430ce34d020724ed75a196dfc2ad67c77772d169",
+ },
+ };
+
+ // Need a helper function to generate a name for each test case.
+ static void case_to_desc(const struct sha1_test_case *t, char *desc)
+ {
+ strcpy(desc, t->str);
+ }
+ // Creates `sha1_gen_params()` to iterate over `cases`.
+ KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM(sha1, cases, case_to_desc);
+
+ // Looks no different from a normal test.
+ static void sha1_test(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ // This function can just contain the body of the for-loop.
+ // The former `cases[i]` is accessible under test->param_value.
+ char out[40];
+ struct sha1_test_case *test_param = (struct sha1_test_case *)(test->param_value);
+
+ sha1sum(test_param->str, out);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ_MSG(test, out, test_param->sha1,
+ "sha1sum(%s)", test_param->str);
+ }
+
+ // Instead of KUNIT_CASE, we use KUNIT_CASE_PARAM and pass in the
+ // function declared by KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM.
+ static struct kunit_case sha1_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE_PARAM(sha1_test, sha1_gen_params),
+ {}
+ };
+
+Allocating Memory
+-----------------
+
+Where you might use ``kzalloc``, you can instead use ``kunit_kzalloc`` as KUnit
+will then ensure that the memory is freed once the test completes.
+
+This is useful because it lets us use the ``KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ`` macros to exit
+early from a test without having to worry about remembering to call ``kfree``.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void example_test_allocation(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ char *buffer = kunit_kzalloc(test, 16, GFP_KERNEL);
+ /* Ensure allocation succeeded. */
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, buffer);
+
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_STREQ(test, buffer, "");
+ }
+
+Registering Cleanup Actions
+---------------------------
+
+If you need to perform some cleanup beyond simple use of ``kunit_kzalloc``,
+you can register a custom "deferred action", which is a cleanup function
+run when the test exits (whether cleanly, or via a failed assertion).
+
+Actions are simple functions with no return value, and a single ``void*``
+context argument, and fulfill the same role as "cleanup" functions in Python
+and Go tests, "defer" statements in languages which support them, and
+(in some cases) destructors in RAII languages.
+
+These are very useful for unregistering things from global lists, closing
+files or other resources, or freeing resources.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ static void cleanup_device(void *ctx)
+ {
+ struct device *dev = (struct device *)ctx;
+
+ device_unregister(dev);
+ }
+
+ void example_device_test(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct my_device dev;
+
+ device_register(&dev);
+
+ kunit_add_action(test, &cleanup_device, &dev);
+ }
+
+Note that, for functions like device_unregister which only accept a single
+pointer-sized argument, it's possible to directly cast that function to
+a ``kunit_action_t`` rather than writing a wrapper function, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: C
+
+ kunit_add_action(test, (kunit_action_t *)&device_unregister, &dev);
+
+``kunit_add_action`` can fail if, for example, the system is out of memory.
+You can use ``kunit_add_action_or_reset`` instead which runs the action
+immediately if it cannot be deferred.
+
+If you need more control over when the cleanup function is called, you
+can trigger it early using ``kunit_release_action``, or cancel it entirely
+with ``kunit_remove_action``.
+
+
+Testing Static Functions
+------------------------
+
+If we do not want to expose functions or variables for testing, one option is to
+conditionally ``#include`` the test file at the end of your .c file. For
+example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* In my_file.c */
+
+ static int do_interesting_thing();
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST
+ #include "my_kunit_test.c"
+ #endif
+
+Injecting Test-Only Code
+------------------------
+
+Similar to as shown above, we can add test-specific logic. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* In my_file.h */
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST
+ /* Defined in my_kunit_test.c */
+ void test_only_hook(void);
+ #else
+ void test_only_hook(void) { }
+ #endif
+
+This test-only code can be made more useful by accessing the current ``kunit_test``
+as shown in next section: *Accessing The Current Test*.
+
+Accessing The Current Test
+--------------------------
+
+In some cases, we need to call test-only code from outside the test file. This
+is helpful, for example, when providing a fake implementation of a function, or
+to fail any current test from within an error handler.
+We can do this via the ``kunit_test`` field in ``task_struct``, which we can
+access using the ``kunit_get_current_test()`` function in ``kunit/test-bug.h``.
+
+``kunit_get_current_test()`` is safe to call even if KUnit is not enabled. If
+KUnit is not enabled, or if no test is running in the current task, it will
+return ``NULL``. This compiles down to either a no-op or a static key check,
+so will have a negligible performance impact when no test is running.
+
+The example below uses this to implement a "mock" implementation of a function, ``foo``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <kunit/test-bug.h> /* for kunit_get_current_test */
+
+ struct test_data {
+ int foo_result;
+ int want_foo_called_with;
+ };
+
+ static int fake_foo(int arg)
+ {
+ struct kunit *test = kunit_get_current_test();
+ struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;
+
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, test_data->want_foo_called_with, arg);
+ return test_data->foo_result;
+ }
+
+ static void example_simple_test(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ /* Assume priv (private, a member used to pass test data from
+ * the init function) is allocated in the suite's .init */
+ struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;
+
+ test_data->foo_result = 42;
+ test_data->want_foo_called_with = 1;
+
+ /* In a real test, we'd probably pass a pointer to fake_foo somewhere
+ * like an ops struct, etc. instead of calling it directly. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_foo(1), 42);
+ }
+
+In this example, we are using the ``priv`` member of ``struct kunit`` as a way
+of passing data to the test from the init function. In general ``priv`` is
+pointer that can be used for any user data. This is preferred over static
+variables, as it avoids concurrency issues.
+
+Had we wanted something more flexible, we could have used a named ``kunit_resource``.
+Each test can have multiple resources which have string names providing the same
+flexibility as a ``priv`` member, but also, for example, allowing helper
+functions to create resources without conflicting with each other. It is also
+possible to define a clean up function for each resource, making it easy to
+avoid resource leaks. For more information, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/resource.rst.
+
+Failing The Current Test
+------------------------
+
+If we want to fail the current test, we can use ``kunit_fail_current_test(fmt, args...)``
+which is defined in ``<kunit/test-bug.h>`` and does not require pulling in ``<kunit/test.h>``.
+For example, we have an option to enable some extra debug checks on some data
+structures as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <kunit/test-bug.h>
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_EXTRA_DEBUG_CHECKS
+ static void validate_my_data(struct data *data)
+ {
+ if (is_valid(data))
+ return;
+
+ kunit_fail_current_test("data %p is invalid", data);
+
+ /* Normal, non-KUnit, error reporting code here. */
+ }
+ #else
+ static void my_debug_function(void) { }
+ #endif
+
+``kunit_fail_current_test()`` is safe to call even if KUnit is not enabled. If
+KUnit is not enabled, or if no test is running in the current task, it will do
+nothing. This compiles down to either a no-op or a static key check, so will
+have a negligible performance impact when no test is running.
