Daniel Latypov 4c2911f1e1 kunit: tool: reconfigure when the used kunitconfig changes
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.

Daniel Latypov 58b391d746 Documentation: kunit: remove claims that kunit is a mocking framework
KUnit does not have any first party support for "mocking".

The original RFC had some, but the code got dropped.
However, the documentation patches never got updated. This fixes that.

https://kunit.dev/mocking.html has a current writeup on the status quo
and will hopefully be eventually folded into the in-kernel
Documentation.

Daniel Latypov a127b154a8 kunit: tool: allow filtering test cases via glob
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'
...

Daniel Latypov 6a499c9c42 kunit: tool: make --raw_output support only showing kunit output
--raw_output is nice, but it would be nicer if could show only output
after KUnit tests have started.

So change the flag to allow specifying a string ('kunit').
Make it so `--raw_output` alone will default to `--raw_output=all` and
have the same original behavior.

Drop the small kunit_parser.raw_output() function since it feels wrong
to put it in "kunit_parser.py" when the point of it is to not parse
anything.

E.g.

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --raw_output=kunit

Daniel Latypov 6cb51a1874 kunit: tool: add --kernel_args to allow setting module params
kunit.py currently does not make it possible for users to specify module
parameters (/kernel arguments more generally) unless one directly tweaks
the kunit.py code itself.

This hasn't mattered much so far, but this would make it easier to port
existing tests that expose module parameters over to KUnit and/or let
current KUnit tests take advantage of them.

Tested using an kunit internal parameter:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit \
    --kernel_args=kunit.filter_glob=kunit_status
...
Testing complete. 2 tests run. 0 failed. 0 crashed. 0 skipped.

Daniel Latypov a72fa63043 Documentation: kunit: drop obsolete note about uml_abort for coverage
Commit b6d5799b0b ("kunit: Add 'kunit_shutdown' option") changes KUnit
to call kernel_halt() by default when done testing.

This fixes the issue with not having .gcda files due to not calling
atexit() handlers, and therefore we can stop recommending people
manually tweak UML code.

The need to use older versions of GCC (<=6) remains however, due to
linktime issues, same as before. Note: There also might still be issues
with .gcda files as well in newer versions.

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.

David Gow d7eab3df8f Documentation: kunit: Update kunit_tool page
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
  --alltests

Note 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.

Daniel Latypov 11dbc62a73 Documentation: kunit: add tips for running KUnit
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_DEBUGFS

By 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.
