This KUnit update for Linux 5.19-rc1 consists of several fixes, cleanups,
and enhancements to tests and framework:
- introduces _NULL and _NOT_NULL macros to pointer error checks
- reworks kunit_resource allocation policy to fix memory leaks when
caller doesn't specify free() function to be used when allocating
memory using kunit_add_resource() and kunit_alloc_resource() funcs.
- adds ability to specify suite-level init and exit functions

KUnit has support for setup/cleanup logic for each test case in a suite.
But it lacks the ability to specify setup/cleanup for the entire suite
itself.
This can be used to do setup that is too expensive or cumbersome to do
for each test.
Or it can be used to do simpler things like log debug information after
the suite completes.
It's a fairly common feature, so the lack of it is noticeable.
Some examples in other frameworks and languages:
* https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#setupclass-and-teardownclass
* https://google.github.io/googletest/reference/testing.html#Test::SetUpTestSuite
Meta:
This is very similar to this patch here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20210805043503.20252-3-bvanassche@acm.org/
The changes from that patch:
* pass in `struct kunit *` so users can do stuff like
`kunit_info(suite, "debug message")`
* makes sure the init failure is bubbled up as a failure
* updates kunit-example-test.c to use a suite init
* Updates kunit/usage.rst to mention the new support
* some minor cosmetic things
* use `suite_{init,exit}` instead of `{init/exit}_suite`
* make suite init error message more consistent w/ test init
* etc.

Recent changes have made it so the current set is not sufficient.
Namely, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not being set even when explicitly asked.
Specifying a version of the debug info fixes this.
Pick CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT as an option that's
hopefully less fragile (esp. given we're tied to GCC 6 and lower).

Background:
Currently, a reader looking at kunit/test.h will find the file is quite
long, and the first meaty comment is a doc comment about struct
kunit_resource.
Most users will not ever use the KUnit resource API directly.
They'll use kunit_kmalloc() and friends, or decide it's simpler to do
cleanups via labels (it often can be) instead of figuring out how to use
the API.
It's also logically separate from everything else in test.h.
Removing it from the file doesn't cause any compilation errors (since
struct kunit has `struct list_head resources` to store them).
This commit:
Let's move it into a kunit/resource.h file and give it a separate page
in the docs, kunit/api/resource.rst.
We include resource.h at the bottom of test.h since
* don't want to force existing users to add a new include if they use the API
* it accesses `lock` inside `struct kunit` in a inline func
* so we can't just forward declare, and the alternatives require
uninlining the func, adding hepers to lock/unlock, or other more
invasive changes.
Now the first big comment in test.h is about kunit_case, which is a lot
more relevant to what a new user wants to know.
A side effect of this is git blame won't properly track history by
default, users need to run
$ git blame -L ,1 -C17 include/kunit/resource.h

Commit ddbd60c779 ("kunit: use --build_dir=.kunit as default") changed
the default --build_dir, which had the side effect of making
`.kunitconfig` move to `.kunit/.kunitconfig`.
However, the first few lines of kunit/start.rst never got updated, oops.
Fix this by telling people to run kunit.py first, which will
automatically generate the .kunit directory and .kunitconfig file, and
then edit the file manually as desired.

the KFENCE KUnit test still passes.
Nevertheless, on power-constrained systems this may be preferable, so
let's give the user the option should they accept the above trade-off.

Most readers are probably going to figure out that the config is actually
all upper-case letters, as all Kconfig symbols are this way.
Properly capitalizing makes the script ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py
happy, which otherwise would report this as a reference to a non-existing
Kconfig symbol.
So, use the right capitalization for the MAGIC_SYSRQ config in the kgdb
documentation.

Problem: currently, if you remove something from your kunitconfig,
kunit.py will not regenerate the .config file.
The same thing happens if you did --kunitconfig_add=CONFIG_KASAN=y [1]
and then ran again without it. Your new run will still have KASAN.
The reason is that kunit.py won't regenerate the .config file if it's a
superset of the kunitconfig. This speeds it up a bit for iterating.
This patch adds an additional check that forces kunit.py to regenerate
the .config file if the current kunitconfig doesn't match the previous
one.
What this means:
* deleting entries from .kunitconfig works as one would expect
* dropping a --kunitconfig_add also triggers a rebuild
* you can still edit .config directly to turn on new options
We implement this by creating a `last_used_kunitconfig` file in the
build directory (so .kunit, by default) after we generate the .config.
When comparing the kconfigs, we compare python sets, so duplicates and
permutations don't trip us up.
The majority of this patch is adding unit tests for the existing logic
and for the new case where `last_used_kunitconfig` differs.

We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static
key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds. This is due
to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to
hundreds of CPUs (cores). If done too frequently, this can adversely
affect tail latencies of various workloads.
One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds,
while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still
exists and could still increase tail latencies.
As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at
lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance;
however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result
in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended.
Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals
and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly
better. Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects
of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind
spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores).
Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately,
that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and
topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new
workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks.
Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a
large variety of different workloads and system architectures. As such,
the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is
only recommended after careful evaluation.
For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates
exactly
2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path:

| je ffffffff812d6003 <kmem_cache_alloc+0x243>
| ...
which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be
well predicted by most CPUs.

Add a note briefly mentioning the new policy about "skipping currently
covered allocations if pool close to full." Since this has a notable
impact on KFENCE's bug-detection ability on systems with large uptimes,
it is worth pointing out the feature.

* tag 'linux-kselftest-kunit-5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest:
kunit: tool: fix typecheck errors about loading qemu configs

kunit: Reset suite count after running tests
kunit: tool: improve compatibility of kunit_parser with KTAP specification
kunit: tool: yield output from run_kernel in real time

kunit: add 'kunit.action' param to allow listing out tests
kunit: tool: show list of valid --arch options when invalid
kunit: tool: misc fixes (unused vars, imports, leaked files)
kunit: fix too small allocation when using suite-only kunit.filter_glob
kunit: tool: allow filtering test cases via glob
kunit: drop assumption in kunit-log-test about current suite
Commit 1d71307a6f ("kunit: add unit test for filtering suites by
names") introduced the ability to filter which suites we run via glob.
This change extends it so we can also filter individual test cases
inside of suites as well.
This is quite useful when, e.g.
* trying to run just the tests cases you've just added or are working on
* trying to debug issues with test hermeticity
Examples:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit '*exec*.parse*'
...
============================================================
======== [PASSED] kunit_executor_test ========
[PASSED] parse_filter_test

Testing complete. 1 tests run. 0 failed. 0 crashed.
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit '*.no_matching_tests'
