e588586675 kunit: Add documentation of KUnit test attributes
Add documentation on the use of test attributes under the section "Tips for
Running KUnit Tests" in the KUnit docs.

Documentation includes three sections on how to mark tests with attributes,
how attributes are reported, and how the user can filter tests using test
attributes.

Add descriptions of new flags to list of command-line arguments.

The sample code has Kconfig for tristate configuration. In the case, it
could be friendly to developers that the code has MODULE_LICENSE, since
the missing MODULE_LICENSE brings error to modpost when the code is built
as loadable kernel module.

cdc87bda60 Documentation: kunit: Warn that exit functions run even if init fails
KUnit's exit functions will run even if the corresponding init function
fails. It's easy, when writing an exit function, to assume the init
function succeeded, and (for example) access uninitialised memory or
dereference NULL pointers.

Note that this case exists and should be handled in the documentation.

410f07492e Documentation: kunit: Note that assertions should not be used in cleanup
As assertions abort the test cleanup process, they should be avoided
from within a suite's exit function, or from within resource 'free'
functions. Unlike with initialisation or main test execution, no further
cleanup will be performed after a failed assertion, potentially causing
a leak of resources.

When the documentation was updated for modular tests, the dependency on
"KUNIT=y" was forgotten to be updated, now encouraging people to create

Fix this by changing the dependency to "KUNIT".

Added a new page (functionredirection.rst) that describes the Function

for example, ftrace-based stubbing.

In addition,
1. Updated the api/index.rst page to create an entry for function
   redirection api
2. Updated the toctree to be hidden, reducing redundancy on the

7170b7ed6a kunit: Add "hooks" to call into KUnit when it's built as a module
KUnit has several macros and functions intended for use from non-test
code. These hooks, currently the kunit_get_current_test() and
kunit_fail_current_test() macros, didn't work when CONFIG_KUNIT=m.

In order to support this case, the required functions and static data
need to be available unconditionally, even when KUnit itself is not
built-in. The new 'hooks.c' file is therefore always included, and has
both the static key required for kunit_get_current_test(), and a table
of function pointers in struct kunit_hooks_table. This is filled in with
the real implementations by kunit_install_hooks(), which is kept in
hooks-impl.h and called when the kunit module is loaded.

This can  be extended for future features which require similar
"hook" behaviour, such as static stubs, by simply adding new entries to
the struct, and the appropriate code to set them.

a81fe7ecf7 Documentation: kunit: Fix "How Do I Use This" / "Next Steps" sections
The "How Do I Use This" section of index.rst and "Next Steps" section of
start.rst were just copies of the table of contents, and therefore
weren't really useful either when looking a sphinx generated output
(which already had the TOC visible) or when reading the source (where
it's just a list of files that ls could give you).

Instead, provide a small number of concrete next steps, and a bit more
description about what the pages contain.

This also removes the broken reference to 'tips.rst', which was
previously removed.

91e9359221 kunit: Use the static key when retrieving the current test
In order to detect if a KUnit test is running, and to access its
context, the 'kunit_test' member of the current task_struct is used.
Usually, this is accessed directly or via the kunit_fail_current_task()
function.

In order to speed up the case where no test is running, add a wrapper,
kunit_get_current_test(), which uses the static key to fail early.
Equally, Speed up kunit_fail_current_test() by using the static key.

This should make it convenient for code to call this
unconditionally in fakes or error paths, without worrying that this will
slow the code down significantly.

If CONFIG_KUNIT=n (or m), this compiles away to nothing. If
CONFIG_KUNIT=y, it will compile down to a NOP (on most architectures) if
no KUnit test is currently running.

Note that kunit_get_current_test() does not work if KUnit is built as a
module. This mirrors the existing restriction on kunit_fail_current_test().

Note that the definition of kunit_fail_current_test() still wraps an
empty, inline function if KUnit is not built-in. This is to ensure that
the printf format string __attribute__ will still work.

Also update the documentation to suggest users use the new
kunit_get_current_test() function, update the example, and to describe
the behaviour when KUnit is disabled better.

a5b9abaa60 Documentation: kunit: Remove redundant 'tips.rst' page
The contents of 'tips.rst' was mostly included in 'usage.rst' way back in
commit 9535743906 ("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"),
but the tips page remained behind as well.

The parent patches in this series fill in the gaps, so now 'tips.rst' is
redundant.
Therefore, delete 'tips.rst'.

While I regret breaking any links to 'tips' which might exist
externally, it's confusing to have two subtly different versions of the
same content around.

ec0a42a17e Documentation: KUnit: reword description of assertions
The existing wording implies that kunit_kmalloc_array() is "the method
under test". We're actually testing the sort() function in that example.
This is because the example was changed in commit 9535743906
("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"),
but the wording was not.

Also add a `note` telling people they can use the KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ()
macros from any function. Some users might be coming from a framework
like gUnit where that'll compile but silently do the wrong thing.
