-What is KUnit? -============== - -KUnit is a lightweight unit testing and mocking framework for the Linux kernel. - -KUnit is heavily inspired by JUnit, Python's unittest.mock, and -Googletest/Googlemock for C++. KUnit provides facilities for defining unit test -cases, grouping related test cases into test suites, providing common -infrastructure for running tests, and much more. - -KUnit consists of a kernel component, which provides a set of macros for easily -writing unit tests. Tests written against KUnit will run on kernel boot if -built-in, or when loaded if built as a module. These tests write out results to -the kernel log in `TAP https://testanything.org/`_ format. - -To make running these tests (and reading the results) easier, KUnit offers -:doc:`kunit_tool <kunit-tool>`, which builds a `User Mode Linux -http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net`_ kernel, runs it, and parses the test -results. This provides a quick way of running KUnit tests during development, -without requiring a virtual machine or separate hardware. - -Get started now: Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/start.rst - -Why KUnit? -========== - -A unit test is supposed to test a single unit of code in isolation, hence the -name. A unit test should be the finest granularity of testing and as such should -allow all possible code paths to be tested in the code under test; this is only -possible if the code under test is very small and does not have any external -dependencies outside of the test's control like hardware. - -KUnit provides a common framework for unit tests within the kernel. - -KUnit tests can be run on most architectures, and most tests are architecture -independent. All built-in KUnit tests run on kernel startup. Alternatively, -KUnit and KUnit tests can be built as modules and tests will run when the test -module is loaded. - -.. note:: - - KUnit can also run tests without needing a virtual machine or actual - hardware under User Mode Linux. User Mode Linux is a Linux architecture, - like ARM or x86, which compiles the kernel as a Linux executable. KUnit - can be used with UML either by building with ``ARCH=um`` (like any other - architecture), or by using :doc:`kunit_tool <kunit-tool>`. - -KUnit is fast. Excluding build time, from invocation to completion KUnit can run -several dozen tests in only 10 to 20 seconds; this might not sound like a big -deal to some people, but having such fast and easy to run tests fundamentally -changes the way you go about testing and even writing code in the first place. -Linus himself said in his `git talk at Google -https://gist.github.com/lorn/1272686/revisions#diff-53c65572127855f1b003db4064a94573R874`_: - - "... a lot of people seem to think that performance is about doing the - same thing, just doing it faster, and that is not true. That is not what - performance is all about. If you can do something really fast, really - well, people will start using it differently." - -In this context Linus was talking about branching and merging, -but this point also applies to testing. If your tests are slow, unreliable, are -difficult to write, and require a special setup or special hardware to run, -then you wait a lot longer to write tests, and you wait a lot longer to run -tests; this means that tests are likely to break, unlikely to test a lot of -things, and are unlikely to be rerun once they pass. If your tests are really -fast, you run them all the time, every time you make a change, and every time -someone sends you some code. Why trust that someone ran all their tests -correctly on every change when you can just run them yourself in less time than -it takes to read their test log? +This section details the kernel unit testing framework. + +Introduction +============ + +KUnit (Kernel unit testing framework) provides a common framework for +unit tests within the Linux kernel. Using KUnit, you can define groups +of test cases called test suites. The tests either run on kernel boot +if built-in, or load as a module. KUnit automatically flags and reports +failed test cases in the kernel log. The test results appear in `TAP +(Test Anything Protocol) format https://testanything.org/`_. It is inspired by +JUnit, Python’s unittest.mock, and GoogleTest/GoogleMock (C++ unit testing +framework). + +KUnit tests are part of the kernel, written in the C (programming) +language, and test parts of the Kernel implementation (example: a C +language function). Excluding build time, from invocation to +completion, KUnit can run around 100 tests in less than 10 seconds. +KUnit can test any kernel component, for example: file system, system +calls, memory management, device drivers and so on. + +KUnit follows the white-box testing approach. The test has access to +internal system functionality. KUnit runs in kernel space and is not +restricted to things exposed to user-space. + +In addition, KUnit has kunit_tool, a script (``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``) +that configures the Linux kernel, runs KUnit tests under QEMU or UML (`User Mode +Linux http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/`_), parses the test results and +displays them in a user friendly manner. + +Features +-------- + +- Provides a framework for writing unit tests. +- Runs tests on any kernel architecture. +- Runs a test in milliseconds. + +Prerequisites +------------- + +- Any Linux kernel compatible hardware. +- For Kernel under test, Linux kernel version 5.5 or greater. + +Unit Testing +============ + +A unit test tests a single unit of code in isolation. A unit test is the finest +granularity of testing and allows all possible code paths to be tested in the +code under test. This is possible if the code under test is small and does not +have any external dependencies outside of the test's control like hardware. + + +Write Unit Tests +---------------- + +To write good unit tests, there is a simple but powerful pattern: +Arrange-Act-Assert. This is a great way to structure test cases and +defines an order of operations. + +- Arrange inputs and targets: At the start of the test, arrange the data + that allows a function to work. Example: initialize a statement or + object. +- Act on the target behavior: Call your function/code under test. +- Assert expected outcome: Verify that the result (or resulting state) is as + expected. + +Unit Testing Advantages +----------------------- + +- Increases testing speed and development in the long run. +- Detects bugs at initial stage and therefore decreases bug fix cost + compared to acceptance testing. +- Improves code quality. +- Encourages writing testable code.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================== +KUnit Architecture +================== + +The KUnit architecture can be divided into two parts: + +- Kernel testing library +- kunit_tool (Command line test harness) + +In-Kernel Testing Framework +=========================== + +The kernel testing library supports KUnit tests written in C using +KUnit. KUnit tests are kernel code. KUnit does several things: + +- Organizes tests +- Reports test results +- Provides test utilities + +Test Cases +---------- + +The fundamental unit in KUnit is the test case. The KUnit test cases are +grouped into KUnit suites. A KUnit test case is a function with type +signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. +These test case functions are wrapped in a struct called +``struct kunit_case``. For code, see: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/test.h + :identifiers: kunit_case + +.. note: + ``generate_params`` is optional for non-parameterized tests. + +Each KUnit test case gets a ``struct kunit`` context +object passed to it that tracks a running test. The KUnit assertion +macros and other KUnit utilities use the ``struct kunit`` context +object. As an exception, there are two fields: + +- ``->priv``: The setup functions can use it to store arbitrary test + user data. + +- ``->param_value``: It contains the parameter value which can be + retrieved in the parameterized tests. + +Test Suites +----------- + +A KUnit suite includes a collection of test cases. The KUnit suites +are represented by the ``struct kunit_suite``. For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = { + KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo), + KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar), + KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz), + {} + }; + + static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = { + .name = "example", + .init = example_test_init, + .exit = example_test_exit, + .test_cases = example_test_cases, + }; + kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite); + +In the above example, the test suite ``example_test_suite``, runs the +test cases ``example_test_foo``, ``example_test_bar``, and +``example_test_baz``. Before running the test, the ``example_test_init`` +is called and after running the test, ``example_test_exit`` is called. +The ``kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite)`` registers the test suite +with the KUnit test framework. + +Executor +-------- + +The KUnit executor can list and run built-in KUnit tests on boot. +The Test suites are stored in a linker section +called ``.kunit_test_suites``. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/incl.... +The linker section consists of an array of pointers to +``struct kunit_suite``, and is populated by the ``kunit_test_suites()`` +macro. To run all tests compiled into the kernel, the KUnit executor +iterates over the linker section array. + +.. kernel-figure:: kunit_suitememorydiagram.svg + :alt: KUnit Suite Memory + + KUnit Suite Memory Diagram + +On the kernel boot, the KUnit executor uses the start and end addresses +of this section to iterate over and run all tests. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/... + +When built as a module, the ``kunit_test_suites()`` macro defines a +``module_init()`` function, which runs all the tests in the compilation +unit instead of utilizing the executor. + +In KUnit tests, some error classes do not affect other tests +or parts of the kernel, each KUnit case executes in a separate thread +context. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/... + +Assertion Macros +---------------- + +KUnit tests verify state using expectations/assertions. +All expectations/assertions are formatted as: +``KUNIT_{EXPECT|ASSERT}_<op>[_MSG](kunit, property[, message])`` + +- ``{EXPECT|ASSERT}`` determines whether the check is an assertion or an + expectation. + + - For an expectation, if the check fails, marks the test as failed + and logs the failure. + + - An assertion, on failure, causes the test case to terminate + immediately. + + - Assertions call function: + ``void __noreturn kunit_abort(struct kunit *)``. + + - ``kunit_abort`` calls function: + ``void __noreturn kunit_try_catch_throw(struct kunit_try_catch *try_catch)``. + + - ``kunit_try_catch_throw`` calls function: + ``void complete_and_exit(struct completion *, long) __noreturn;`` + and terminates the special thread context. + +- ``<op>`` denotes a check with options: ``TRUE`` (supplied property + has the boolean value “true”), ``EQ`` (two supplied properties are + equal), ``NOT_ERR_OR_NULL`` (supplied pointer is not null and does not + contain an “err” value). + +- ``[_MSG]`` prints a custom message on failure. + +Test Result Reporting +--------------------- +KUnit prints test results in KTAP format. KTAP is based on TAP14, see: +https://github.com/isaacs/testanything.github.io/blob/tap14/tap-version-14-s.... +KTAP (yet to be standardized format) works with KUnit and Kselftest. +The KUnit executor prints KTAP results to dmesg, and debugfs +(if configured). + +Parameterized Tests +------------------- + +Each KUnit parameterized test is associated with a collection of +parameters. The test is invoked multiple times, once for each parameter +value and the parameter is stored in the ``param_value`` field. +The test case includes a ``KUNIT_CASE_PARAM()`` macro that accepts a +generator function. +The generator function is passed the previous parameter and returns the next +parameter. It also provides a macro to generate common-case generators based on +arrays. + +For code, see: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/test.h + :identifiers: KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM + + +kunit_tool (Command Line Test Harness) +====================================== + +kunit_tool is a Python script ``(tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py)`` +that can be used to configure, build, exec, parse and run (runs other +commands in order) test results. You can either run KUnit tests using +kunit_tool or can include KUnit in kernel and parse manually. + +- ``configure`` command generates the kernel ``.config`` from a + ``.kunitconfig`` file (and any architecture-specific options). + For some architectures, additional config options are specified in the + ``qemu_config`` Python script + (For example: ``tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/powerpc.py``). + It parses both the existing ``.config`` and the ``.kunitconfig`` files + and ensures that ``.config`` is a superset of ``.kunitconfig``. + If this is not the case, it will combine the two and run + ``make olddefconfig`` to regenerate the ``.config`` file. It then + verifies that ``.config`` is now a superset. This checks if all + Kconfig dependencies are correctly specified in ``.kunitconfig``. + ``kunit_config.py`` includes the parsing Kconfigs code. The code which + runs ``make olddefconfig`` is a part of ``kunit_kernel.py``. You can + invoke this command via: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config`` and + generate a ``.config`` file. +- ``build`` runs ``make`` on the kernel tree with required options + (depends on the architecture and some options, for example: build_dir) + and reports any errors. + To build a KUnit kernel from the current ``.config``, you can use the + ``build`` argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build``. +- ``exec`` command executes kernel results either directly (using + User-mode Linux configuration), or via an emulator such + as QEMU. It reads results from the log via standard + output (stdout), and passes them to ``parse`` to be parsed. + If you already have built a kernel with built-in KUnit tests, + you can run the kernel and display the test results with the ``exec`` + argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec``. +- ``parse`` extracts the KTAP output from a kernel log, parses + the test results, and prints a summary. For failed tests, any + diagnostic output will be included. diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst index 55d2444b0745..50d3ef9359dd 100644 --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/index.rst @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ KUnit - Linux Kernel Unit Testing :caption: Contents:

The central concept in kernel object oriented programming is the class. In the kernel, a *class* is a struct that contains function pointers. This creates a contract between *implementers* and *users* since it forces them to use the -same function signature without having to call the function directly.

Then when a method provided by the child -class is called, the child implementation knows that the pointer passed to it is -of a parent contained within the child; because of this, the child can compute -the pointer to itself because the pointer to the parent is always a fixed offset -from the pointer to the child; this offset is the offset of the parent contained -in the child struct.

-KUnit on non-UML architectures -============================== - -By default KUnit uses UML as a way to provide dependencies for code under test. -Under most circumstances KUnit's usage of UML should be treated as an -implementation detail of how KUnit works under the hood. Nevertheless, there -are instances where being able to run architecture-specific code or test -against real hardware is desirable. For these reasons KUnit supports running on -other architectures. - -Running existing KUnit tests on non-UML architectures ------------------------------------------------------ +Exiting Early on Failed Expectations +------------------------------------

-There are some special considerations when running existing KUnit tests on -non-UML architectures: +We can use ``KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ`` to mark the test as failed and continue +execution. In some cases, it is unsafe to continue. We can use the +``KUNIT_ASSERT`` variant to exit on failure.

-* Hardware may not be deterministic, so a test that always passes or fails - when run under UML may not always do so on real hardware. -* Hardware and VM environments may not be hermetic. KUnit tries its best to - provide a hermetic environment to run tests; however, it cannot manage state - that it doesn't know about outside of the kernel. Consequently, tests that - may be hermetic on UML may not be hermetic on other architectures. -* Some features and tooling may not be supported outside of UML. -* Hardware and VMs are slower than UML. +.. code-block:: c

-None of these are reasons not to run your KUnit tests on real hardware; they are -only things to be aware of when doing so. + void example_test_user_alloc_function(struct kunit *test) + { + void *object = alloc_some_object_for_me();

-Currently, the KUnit Wrapper (``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``) (aka -kunit_tool) only fully supports running tests inside of UML and QEMU; however, -this is only due to our own time limitations as humans working on KUnit. It is -entirely possible to support other emulators and even actual hardware, but for -now QEMU and UML is what is fully supported within the KUnit Wrapper. Again, to -be clear, this is just the Wrapper. The actualy KUnit tests and the KUnit -library they are written in is fully architecture agnostic and can be used in -virtually any setup, you just won't have the benefit of typing a single command -out of the box and having everything magically work perfectly. + /* Make sure we got a valid pointer back. */ + KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, object); + do_something_with_object(object); + }

-Again, all core KUnit framework features are fully supported on all -architectures, and using them is straightforward: Most popular architectures -are supported directly in the KUnit Wrapper via QEMU. Currently, supported -architectures on QEMU include: +Allocating Memory +-----------------

-* i386 -* x86_64 -* arm -* arm64 -* alpha -* powerpc -* riscv -* s390 -* sparc +Where you might use ``kzalloc``, you can instead use ``kunit_kzalloc`` as KUnit +will then ensure that the memory is freed once the test completes.

-In order to run KUnit tests on one of these architectures via QEMU with the -KUnit wrapper, all you need to do is specify the flags ``--arch`` and -``--cross_compile`` when invoking the KUnit Wrapper. For example, we could run -the default KUnit tests on ARM in the following manner (assuming we have an ARM -toolchain installed): +This is useful because it lets us use the ``KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ`` macros to exit +early from a test without having to worry about remembering to call ``kfree``. +For example:

-.. code-block:: bash +.. code-block:: c

- tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --timeout=60 --jobs=12 --arch=arm --cross_compile=arm-linux-gnueabihf- + void example_test_allocation(struct kunit *test) + { + char *buffer = kunit_kzalloc(test, 16, GFP_KERNEL); + /* Ensure allocation succeeded. */ + KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, buffer);

-Alternatively, if you want to run your tests on real hardware or in some other -emulation environment, all you need to do is to take your kunitconfig, your -Kconfig options for the tests you would like to run, and merge them into -whatever config your are using for your platform. That's it! + KUNIT_ASSERT_STREQ(test, buffer, ""); + }

-For example, let's say you have the following kunitconfig:

-.. code-block:: none +Testing Static Functions +------------------------

- CONFIG_KUNIT=y - CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=y +If we do not want to expose functions or variables for testing, one option is to +conditionally ``#include`` the test file at the end of your .c file. For +example:

-If you wanted to run this test on an x86 VM, you might add the following config -options to your ``.config``: +.. code-block:: c

-.. code-block:: none + /* In my_file.c */

- CONFIG_KUNIT=y - CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=y - CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y - CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y + static int do_interesting_thing();

-All these new options do is enable support for a common serial console needed -for logging. + #ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST + #include "my_kunit_test.c" + #endif

-Next, you could build a kernel with these tests as follows: +Injecting Test-Only Code +------------------------

+Similar to as shown above, we can add test-specific logic. For example:

-.. code-block:: bash +.. code-block:: c

- make ARCH=x86 olddefconfig - make ARCH=x86 + /* In my_file.h */

-Once you have built a kernel, you could run it on QEMU as follows: + #ifdef CONFIG_MY_KUNIT_TEST + /* Defined in my_kunit_test.c */ + void test_only_hook(void); + #else + void test_only_hook(void) { } + #endif

-.. code-block:: bash +This test-only code can be made more useful by accessing the current ``kunit_test`` +as shown in next section: *Accessing The Current Test*.

- qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \ - -m 1024 \ - -kernel arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage \ - -append 'console=ttyS0' \ - --nographic +Accessing The Current Test +--------------------------

-Interspersed in the kernel logs you might see the following: +In some cases, we need to call test-only code from outside the test file. +For example, see example in section *Injecting Test-Only Code* or if +we are providing a fake implementation of an ops struct. Using +``kunit_test`` field in ``task_struct``, we can access it via +``current->kunit_test``.

-.. code-block:: none +The example below includes how to implement "mocking":

- TAP version 14 - # Subtest: example - 1..1 - # example_simple_test: initializing - ok 1 - example_simple_test - ok 1 - example +.. code-block:: c

-Congratulations, you just ran a KUnit test on the x86 architecture! + #include <linux/sched.h> /* for current */

-In a similar manner, kunit and kunit tests can also be built as modules, -so if you wanted to run tests in this way you might add the following config -options to your ``.config``: + struct test_data { + int foo_result; + int want_foo_called_with; + };

-.. code-block:: none + static int fake_foo(int arg) + { + struct kunit *test = current->kunit_test; + struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;

- CONFIG_KUNIT=m - CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=m + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, test_data->want_foo_called_with, arg); + return test_data->foo_result; + }

-Once the kernel is built and installed, a simple + static void example_simple_test(struct kunit *test) + { + /* Assume priv (private, a member used to pass test data from + * the init function) is allocated in the suite's .init */ + struct test_data *test_data = test->priv;

-.. code-block:: bash + test_data->foo_result = 42; + test_data->want_foo_called_with = 1;

- modprobe example-test + /* In a real test, we'd probably pass a pointer to fake_foo somewhere + * like an ops struct, etc. instead of calling it directly. */ + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fake_foo(1), 42); + }

-...will run the tests. +In this example, we are using the ``priv`` member of ``struct kunit`` as a way +of passing data to the test from the init function. In general ``priv`` is +pointer that can be used for any user data. This is preferred over static +variables, as it avoids concurrency issues.

-.. note:: - Note that you should make sure your test depends on ``KUNIT=y`` in Kconfig - if the test does not support module build. Otherwise, it will trigger - compile errors if ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` is ``m``. +Had we wanted something more flexible, we could have used a named ``kunit_resource``. +Each test can have multiple resources which have string names providing the same +flexibility as a ``priv`` member, but also, for example, allowing helper +functions to create resources without conflicting with each other. It is also +possible to define a clean up function for each resource, making it easy to +avoid resource leaks. For more information, see Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/test.rst.

-Writing new tests for other architectures ------------------------------------------ +Failing The Current Test +------------------------

-The first thing you must do is ask yourself whether it is necessary to write a -KUnit test for a specific architecture, and then whether it is necessary to -write that test for a particular piece of hardware. In general, writing a test -that depends on having access to a particular piece of hardware or software (not -included in the Linux source repo) should be avoided at all costs. +If we want to fail the current test, we can use ``kunit_fail_current_test(fmt, args...)`` +which is defined in ``<kunit/test-bug.h>`` and does not require pulling in ``<kunit/test.h>``. +For example, we have an option to enable some extra debug checks on some data +structures as shown below:

-Even if you only ever plan on running your KUnit test on your hardware -configuration, other people may want to run your tests and may not have access -to your hardware. If you write your test to run on UML, then anyone can run your -tests without knowing anything about your particular setup, and you can still -run your tests on your hardware setup just by compiling for your architecture. +.. code-block:: c

-.. important:: - Always prefer tests that run on UML to tests that only run under a particular - architecture, and always prefer tests that run under QEMU or another easy - (and monetarily free) to obtain software environment to a specific piece of - hardware. - -Nevertheless, there are still valid reasons to write an architecture or hardware -specific test: for example, you might want to test some code that really belongs -in ``arch/some-arch/*``. Even so, try your best to write the test so that it -does not depend on physical hardware: if some of your test cases don't need the -hardware, only require the hardware for tests that actually need it. - -Now that you have narrowed down exactly what bits are hardware specific, the -actual procedure for writing and running the tests is pretty much the same as -writing normal KUnit tests. One special caveat is that you have to reset -hardware state in between test cases; if this is not possible, you may only be -able to run one test case per invocation. + #include <kunit/test-bug.h>

-.. TODO(brendanhiggins@google.com): Add an actual example of an architecture- - dependent KUnit test. + #ifdef CONFIG_EXTRA_DEBUG_CHECKS + static void validate_my_data(struct data *data) + { + if (is_valid(data)) + return;

-KUnit debugfs representation -============================ -When kunit test suites are initialized, they create an associated directory -in ``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test-suite>``. The directory contains one file + kunit_fail_current_test("data %p is invalid", data);

-- results: "cat results" displays results of each test case and the results - of the entire suite for the last test run. + /* Normal, non-KUnit, error reporting code here. */ + } + #else + static void my_debug_function(void) { } + #endif

-The debugfs representation is primarily of use when kunit test suites are -run in a native environment, either as modules or builtin. Having a way -to display results like this is valuable as otherwise results can be -intermixed with other events in dmesg output. The maximum size of each -results file is KUNIT_LOG_SIZE bytes (defined in ``include/kunit/test.h``).

+================== +KUnit Architecture +==================

+The KUnit architecture can be divided into two parts:

+- Kernel testing library +- kunit_tool (Command line test harness)

+In-Kernel Testing Framework +===========================

+The kernel testing library supports KUnit tests written in C using +KUnit. KUnit tests are kernel code. KUnit does several things:

+- Organizes tests +- Reports test results +- Provides test utilities

+Test Cases +----------

+The fundamental unit in KUnit is the test case. The KUnit test cases are +grouped into KUnit suites. A KUnit test case is a function with type +signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. +These test case functions are wrapped in a struct called +``struct kunit_case``. For code, see:

+.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/test.h

•   :identifiers: kunit_case
  

+.. note:

•   ``generate_params`` is optional for non-parameterized tests.
  

+Each KUnit test case gets a ``struct kunit`` context +object passed to it that tracks a running test. The KUnit assertion +macros and other KUnit utilities use the ``struct kunit`` context +object. As an exception, there are two fields:

+- ``->priv``: The setup functions can use it to store arbitrary test

• user data.

+- ``->param_value``: It contains the parameter value which can be

• retrieved in the parameterized tests.

+Test Suites +-----------

+A KUnit suite includes a collection of test cases. The KUnit suites +are represented by the ``struct kunit_suite``. For example:

+.. code-block:: c

•   static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
  

•           KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo),
  

•           KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar),
  

•           KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz),
  

•           {}
  

•   };
  

•   static struct kunit_suite example_test_suite = {
  

•           .name = "example",
  

•           .init = example_test_init,
  

•           .exit = example_test_exit,
  

•           .test_cases = example_test_cases,
  

•   };
  

•   kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite);
  

+In the above example, the test suite ``example_test_suite``, runs the +test cases ``example_test_foo``, ``example_test_bar``, and +``example_test_baz``. Before running the test, the ``example_test_init`` +is called and after running the test, ``example_test_exit`` is called. +The ``kunit_test_suite(example_test_suite)`` registers the test suite +with the KUnit test framework.

+Executor +--------

+The KUnit executor can list and run built-in KUnit tests on boot. +The Test suites are stored in a linker section +called ``.kunit_test_suites``. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/incl.... +The linker section consists of an array of pointers to +``struct kunit_suite``, and is populated by the ``kunit_test_suites()`` +macro. To run all tests compiled into the kernel, the KUnit executor +iterates over the linker section array.

+.. kernel-figure:: kunit_suitememorydiagram.svg

•   :alt:   KUnit Suite Memory
  

•   KUnit Suite Memory Diagram
  

+On the kernel boot, the KUnit executor uses the start and end addresses +of this section to iterate over and run all tests. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/...

+When built as a module, the ``kunit_test_suites()`` macro defines a +``module_init()`` function, which runs all the tests in the compilation +unit instead of utilizing the executor.

+In KUnit tests, some error classes do not affect other tests +or parts of the kernel, each KUnit case executes in a separate thread +context. For code, see: +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/lib/...

+Assertion Macros +----------------

+KUnit tests verify state using expectations/assertions. +All expectations/assertions are formatted as: +``KUNIT_{EXPECT|ASSERT}_<op>[_MSG](kunit, property[, message])``

+- ``{EXPECT|ASSERT}`` determines whether the check is an assertion or an

• expectation.

•   - For an expectation, if the check fails, marks the test as failed
  

•     and logs the failure.
  

•   - An assertion, on failure, causes the test case to terminate
  

•     immediately.
  

•           - Assertions call function:
  

•             ``void __noreturn kunit_abort(struct kunit *)``.
  

•           - ``kunit_abort`` calls function:
  

•             ``void __noreturn kunit_try_catch_throw(struct kunit_try_catch *try_catch)``.
  

•           - ``kunit_try_catch_throw`` calls function:
  

•             ``void complete_and_exit(struct completion *, long) __noreturn;``
  

•             and terminates the special thread context.
  

+- ``<op>`` denotes a check with options: ``TRUE`` (supplied property

• has the boolean value “true”), ``EQ`` (two supplied properties are
• equal), ``NOT_ERR_OR_NULL`` (supplied pointer is not null and does not
• contain an “err” value).

+- ``[_MSG]`` prints a custom message on failure.

+Test Result Reporting +--------------------- +KUnit prints test results in KTAP format. KTAP is based on TAP14, see: +https://github.com/isaacs/testanything.github.io/blob/tap14/tap-version-14-s.... +KTAP (yet to be standardized format) works with KUnit and Kselftest. +The KUnit executor prints KTAP results to dmesg, and debugfs +(if configured).

+Parameterized Tests +-------------------

+Each KUnit parameterized test is associated with a collection of +parameters. The test is invoked multiple times, once for each parameter +value and the parameter is stored in the ``param_value`` field. +The test case includes a ``KUNIT_CASE_PARAM()`` macro that accepts a +generator function. +The generator function is passed the previous parameter and returns the next +parameter. It also provides a macro to generate common-case generators based on +arrays.

+For code, see:

+.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/test.h

•   :identifiers: KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM
  

+kunit_tool (Command Line Test Harness) +======================================

+kunit_tool is a Python script ``(tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py)`` +that can be used to configure, build, exec, parse and run (runs other +commands in order) test results. You can either run KUnit tests using +kunit_tool or can include KUnit in kernel and parse manually.

+- ``configure`` command generates the kernel ``.config`` from a

• ``.kunitconfig`` file (and any architecture-specific options).
• For some architectures, additional config options are specified in the
• ``qemu_config`` Python script
• (For example: ``tools/testing/kunit/qemu_configs/powerpc.py``).
• It parses both the existing ``.config`` and the ``.kunitconfig`` files
• and ensures that ``.config`` is a superset of ``.kunitconfig``.
• If this is not the case, it will combine the two and run
• ``make olddefconfig`` to regenerate the ``.config`` file. It then
• verifies that ``.config`` is now a superset. This checks if all
• Kconfig dependencies are correctly specified in ``.kunitconfig``.
• ``kunit_config.py`` includes the parsing Kconfigs code. The code which
• runs ``make olddefconfig`` is a part of ``kunit_kernel.py``. You can
• invoke this command via: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config`` and
• generate a ``.config`` file.

+- ``build`` runs ``make`` on the kernel tree with required options

• (depends on the architecture and some options, for example: build_dir)
• and reports any errors.
• To build a KUnit kernel from the current ``.config``, you can use the
• ``build`` argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build``.

+- ``exec`` command executes kernel results either directly (using

• User-mode Linux configuration), or via an emulator such
• as QEMU. It reads results from the log via standard
• output (stdout), and passes them to ``parse`` to be parsed.
• If you already have built a kernel with built-in KUnit tests,
• you can run the kernel and display the test results with the ``exec``
• argument: ``./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec``.

+- ``parse`` extracts the KTAP output from a kernel log, parses

• the test results, and prints a summary. For failed tests, any
• diagnostic output will be included.
