The KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL() macro currently uses KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() to
compare fail_data.report_expected and fail_data.report_found. This always
gave a somewhat useless error message on failure, but the addition of
extra compile-time checking with READ_ONCE() has caused it to get much
longer, and be truncated before anything useful is displayed.Instead, just check fail_data.report_found by hand (we've just set
report_expected to 'true'), and print a better failure message with
KUNIT_FAIL(). Because of this, report_expected is no longer used
anywhere, and can be removed.Beforehand, a failure in:
KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL(test, ((volatile char *)area)[3100]);
would have looked like:
[22:00:34] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:00:34] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:991
[22:00:34] Expected ({ do { extern void __compiletime_assert_705(void) __attribute__((__error__("Unsupported access size for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()."))); if (!((sizeof(fail_data.report_expected) == sizeof(char) || sizeof(fail_data.repp
[22:00:34] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oobWith this change, it instead looks like:
[22:04:04] [FAILED] vmalloc_oob
[22:04:04] # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:993
[22:04:04] KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred
[22:04:04] not ok 45 - vmalloc_oobAlso update the example failure in the documentation to reflect this.

The default .kunitconfig file is currently kept in
arch/um/configs/kunit_defconfig, but -- with the impending QEMU patch
-- will no-longer be exclusively used for UML-based kernels.Move it alongside the other KUnit configs in
tools/testing/kunit/configs, and give it a name which matches the
existing all_tests.config and broken_on_uml.config files.Also update the Getting Started documentation to point to the new file.

The kunit_tool documentation page was pretty minimal, and a bit
outdated. Update it and flesh it out a bit.In particular,
- Mention that .kunitconfig is now in the build directory
- Describe the use of --kunitconfig to specify a different config
framgent
- Mention the split functionality (i.e., commands other than 'run')
- Describe --raw_output and kunit.py parse
- Mention the globbing support
- Provide a quick overview of other options, including --build_dir and
--alltestsNote that this does overlap a little with the new running_tips page. I
don't think it's a problem having both: this page is supposed to be a
bit more of a reference, rather than a list of useful tips, so the fact
that they both describe the same features isn't a problem.Signed-off-by: David Gow

This is long overdue.
There are several things that aren't nailed down (in-tree
.kunitconfig's), or partially broken (GCOV on UML), but having them
documented, warts and all, is better than having nothing.This covers a bunch of the more recent features
* kunit_filter_glob
* kunit.py run --kunitconfig
* slightly more detail on building tests as modules
* CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFSBy my count, the only headline features now not mentioned are the KASAN
integration and KernelCI json output support (kunit.py run --json).And then it also discusses how to get code coverage reports under UML
and non-UML since this is a question people have repeatedly asked.Non-UML coverage collection is no different from normal, but we should
probably explicitly call this out.As for UML, I was able to get it working again with two small hacks.*
E.g. with CONFIG_KUNIT=y && CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y
Overall coverage rate:
lines......: 15.1% (18294 of 120776 lines)
functions..: 16.8% (1860 of 11050 functions)Note: this doesn't document --alltests since this is not stable yet.
Hopefully being run more frequently as part of KernelCI will help...*Using gcc/gcov-6 and not using uml_abort() in os_dump_core().
I've documented these hacks in "Notes" but left TODOs for
brendanhiggins@google.com who tracked down the runtime issue in GCC.
To be clear: these are not issues specific to KUnit, but rather to UML.Signed-off-by: Daniel Latypov

While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to
include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb51daac ("locking/atomics, asm-generic:
Move some macros from to a new file").Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via
commit 3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO").I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation
detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use

arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address. While running
in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace. So if the upper bit is not 1
(not TTBR1), the current address is invalid. This patch checks the upper
bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return
the derefrence of current task. Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users
they are running in userspace(EL0).While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current
task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210314203444.15188-3-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.
lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.This patch (of 2):
x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:
arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:
(gdb) p $lx_current().pid

Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, though more than
usually well contained to Documentation/ itself. Highlights include:- The Chinese translators have been busy and show no signs of
stopping anytime soon. Italian has also caught up.- Aditya Srivastava has been working on improvements to the
kernel-doc script.- Thorsten continues his work on reporting-issues.rst and related
documentation around regression reporting.- Lots of documentation updates, typo fixes, etc. as usual"

The kernel now has a number of testing and debugging tools, and we've
seen a bit of confusion about what the differences between them are.Add a basic documentation outlining the testing tools, when to use each,
and how they interact.This is a pretty quick overview rather than the idealised "kernel
testing guide" that'd probably be optimal, but given the number of times
questions like "When do you use KUnit and when do you use Kselftest?"
are being asked, it seemed worth at least having something. Hopefully
this can form the basis for more detailed documentation later.Signed-off-by: David Gow

Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide a sync or async mode
of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified
with the synchronous or asynchronous tagging mode of execution.
In synchronous mode, an exception is triggered if a tag check fault occurs.
In asynchronous mode, if a tag check fault occurs, the TFSR_EL1 register is
updated asynchronously. The kernel checks the corresponding bits
periodically.KASAN requires a specific kernel command line parameter to make use of this
hw features.Add KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter.
Note: This patch adds the kasan.mode kernel parameter and the
sync/async kernel command line options to enable the described features.[ Add a new var instead of exposing kasan_arg_mode to be consistent with
flags for other command line arguments. ]Cc: Dmitry Vyukov

As of commit 359a376081d4 ("kunit: support failure from dynamic analysis
tools"), we can use current->kunit_test to find the current kunit test.Mention this in tips.rst and give an example of how this can be used in
conjunction with `test->priv` to pass around state and specifically
implement something like mocking.
There's a lot more we could go into on that topic, but given that
example is already longer than every other "tip" on this page, we just
point to the API docs and leave filling in the blanks as an exercise to
the reader.Also give an example of kunit_fail_current_test().
