New subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm/tests: Use KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER()

10 Nov 2023

KUnit's deferred action API accepts a void(*)(void *) function pointer
which is called when the test is exited. However, we very frequently
want to use existing functions which accept a single pointer, but which
may not be of type void*. While this is probably dodgy enough to be on
the wrong side of the C standard, it's been often used for similar
callbacks, and gcc's -Wcast-function-type seems to ignore cases where
the only difference is the type of the argument, assuming it's
compatible (i.e., they're both pointers to data).
However, clang 16 has introduced -Wcast-function-type-strict, which no
longer permits any deviation in function pointer type. This seems to be
because it'd break CFI, which validates the type of function calls.
This rather ruins our attempts to cast functions to defer them, and
leaves us with a few options. The one we've chosen is to implement a
macro which will generate a wrapper function which accepts a void*, and
casts the argument to the appropriate type.
For example, if you were trying to wrap:
void foo_close(struct foo *handle);
you could use:
KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER(kunit_action_foo_close,
    		    foo_close,
    		    struct foo *);
This would create a new kunit_action_foo_close() function, of type
kunit_action_t, which could be passed into kunit_add_action() and
similar functions.
In addition to defining this macro, update KUnit and its tests to use
it.

This is a follow-up to the RFC here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230915050125.3609689-1-davidgow@go...
There's no difference in the macro implementation, just an update to the
KUnit tests to use it. This version is intended to complement:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231106172557.2963-1-rf@opensource.cirrus.com/
There are also two follow-up patches in the series to use this macro in
various DRM tests.
Hopefully this will solve any CFI issues that show up with KUnit.
Thanks,
