Initially I just wanted to port the selftests to the latest GPIO uAPI, but on finding that, due to dependency issues, the selftests are not built for the buildroot environments that I do most of my GPIO testing in, I decided to take a closer look.
The first patch is essentially a rewrite of the exising test suite. It uses a simplified abstraction of the uAPI interfaces to allow a common test suite to test the gpio-mockup using either of the uAPI interfaces. The simplified cdev interface is implemented in gpio-mockup.sh, with the actual driving of the uAPI implemented in gpio-mockup-cdev.c. The simplified sysfs interface replaces gpio-mockup-sysfs.sh and is loaded over the cdev implementation when selected.
The new tests should also be simpler to extend to cover new mockup interfaces, such as the one Bart has been working on.
I have dropped support for testing modules other than gpio-mockup from the command line options, as the tests are very gpio-mockup specific so I didn't see any calling for it.
I have also tried to emphasise in the test output that the tests are covering the gpio-mockup itself. They do perform some implicit testing of gpiolib and the uAPI interfaces, and so can be useful as smoke tests for those, but their primary focus is the gpio-mockup.
Patches 2 through 5 do some cleaning up that is now possible with the new implementation, including enabling building in buildroot environments. Patch 4 doesn't strictly clean up all the old gpio references that it could - the gpio was the only Level 1 test, so the Level 1 tests could potentially be removed, but I was unsure if there may be other implications to removing a whole test level, or that it may be useful as a placeholder in case other static LDLIBS tests are added in the future??
Patch 6 finally gets around to porting the tests to the latest GPIO uAPI.
And Patch 7 updates the config to set the CONFIG_GPIO_CDEV option that was added in v5.10.
Cheers, Kent.
Changes v2 -> v3: - remove 'commit' from Fixes tag in patch 1. - rebase on Bart's gpio/for-next
Changes v1 -> v2 (all in patch 1 and gpio-mockup.sh unless stated otherwise): - reorder includes in gpio-mockup-cdev.c - a multitude of improvements to gpio-mockup.sh and gpio-mockup-sysfs.sh based on Andy's review comments - improved cleanup to ensure all child processes are killed on exit - added race condition prevention or mitigation including the wait in release_line, the retries in assert_mock, the assert_mock in set_mock, and the sleep in set_line
