Add a simple way of redirecting calls to functions by including a special prologue in the "real" function which checks to see if the replacement function should be called (and, if so, calls it).

To redirect calls to a function, make the first (non-declaration) line of the function:

KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(function_name, [function arguments]);

(This will compile away to nothing if KUnit is not enabled, otherwise it will check if a redirection is active, call the replacement function, and return. This check is protected by a static branch, so has very little overhead when there are no KUnit tests running.)

Calls to the real function can be redirected to a replacement using:

kunit_activate_static_stub(test, real_fn, replacement_fn);

The redirection will only affect calls made from within the kthread of the current test, and will be automatically disabled when the test completes. It can also be manually disabled with kunit_deactivate_static_stub().

The 'example' KUnit test suite has a more complete example.

Note that checkpatch.pl does warn about control flow in the KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() macro. This is an intentional design choice (we think it makes the feature easier to use), though if there are strong objections, we can of course reconsider.

Changes since RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220910212804.670622-2-davidgow@goo... - Now uses the kunit_get_current_test() function, which uses the static key to reduce overhead. - Thanks Kees for the suggestion. - Note that this does prevent redirections from working when CONFIG_KUNIT=m -- this is a restriction of kunit_get_current_test() which will be removed in a future patch. - Several tidy-ups to the inline documentation.

Changes since RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220318021314.3225240-2-davidgow@google.com/ - Use typecheck_fn() to fix typechecking in some cases (thanks Brendan)

From: Sadiya Kazi sadiyakazi@google.com

Added a new page (functionredirection.rst) that describes the Function Redirection (static stubbing) API. This page will be expanded if we add, 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 generated page.

Note that this patch is new to v1 of the series, and wasn't included in the previous RFCs.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================== +Function Redirection API +======================== + +Overview +======== + +When writing unit tests, it's important to be able to isolate the code being +tested from other parts of the kernel. This ensures the reliability of the test +(it won't be affected by external factors), reduces dependencies on specific +hardware or config options (making the test easier to run), and protects the +stability of the rest of the system (making it less likely for test-specific +state to interfere with the rest of the system). + +While for some code (typically generic data structures, helpers, and toher +"pure function") this is trivial, for others (like device drivers, filesystems, +core subsystems) the code is heavily coupled with other parts of the kernel. + +This often involves global state in some way: be it global lists of devices, +the filesystem, or hardware state, this needs to be either carefully managed, +isolated, and restored, or avoided altogether by replacing access to and +mutation of this state with a "fake" or "mock" variant. + +This can be done by refactoring the code to abstract out access to such state, +by introducing a layer of indirection which can use or emulate a separate set of +test state. However, such refactoring comes with its own costs (and undertaking +significant refactoring before being able to write tests is suboptimal). + +A simpler way to intercept some of the function calls is to use function +redirection via static stubs. + + +Static Stubs +============ + +Static stubs are a way of redirecting calls to one function (the "real" +function) to another function (the "replacement" function). + +It works by adding a macro to the "real" function which checks to see if a test +is running, and if a replacement function is available. If so, that function is +called in place of the original. + +Using static stubs is pretty straightforward: + +1. Add the KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() macro to the start of the "real" + function. + + This should be the first statement in the function, after any variable + declarations. KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() takes the name of the + function, followed by all of the arguments passed to the real function. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str); + /* real implementation */ + } + +2. Write one or more replacement functions. + + These functions should have the same function signature as the real function. + In the event they need to access or modify test-specific state, they can use + kunit_get_current_test() to get a struct kunit pointer. This can then + be passed to the expectation/assertion macros, or used to look up KUnit + resources. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + struct kunit *test = kunit_get_current_test(); + KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ(test, str, "Hello World!"); + } + +3. Activate the static stub from your test. + + From within a test, the redirection can be enabled with + kunit_activate_static_stub(), which accepts a struct kunit pointer, + the real function, and the replacement function. You can call this several + times with different replacement functions to swap out implementations of the + function. + + In our example, this would be + + .. code-block:: c + + kunit_activate_static_stub(test, + send_data_to_hardware, + fake_send_data_to_hardware); + +4. Call (perhaps indirectly) the real function. + + Once the redirection is activated, any call to the real function will call + the replacement function instead. Such calls may be buried deep in the + implementation of another function, but must occur from the test's kthread. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + send_data_to_hardware("Hello World!"); /* Succeeds */ + send_data_to_hardware("Something else"); /* Fails the test. */ + +5. (Optionally) disable the stub. + + When you no longer need it, the redirection can be disabled (and hence the + original behaviour of the 'real' function resumed) using + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(). If the stub is not manually deactivated, it + will nevertheless be disabled when the test finishes. + + For example: + + .. code-block:: c + + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware); + + +It's also possible to use these replacement functions to test to see if a +function is called at all, for example: + +.. code-block:: c + + void send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(send_data_to_hardware, str); + /* real implementation */ + } + + /* In test file */ + int times_called = 0; + void fake_send_data_to_hardware(const char *str) + { + /* fake implementation */ + times_called++; + } + ... + /* In the test case, redirect calls for the duration of the test */ + kunit_activate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware, fake_send_data_to_hardware); + + send_data_to_hardware("hello"); + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1); + + /* Can also deactivate the stub early, if wanted */ + kunit_deactivate_static_stub(test, send_data_to_hardware); + + send_data_to_hardware("hello again"); + KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, times_called, 1); + + + +API Reference +============= + +.. kernel-doc:: include/kunit/static_stub.h + :internal: diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst index 45ce04823f9f..2d8f756aab56 100644 --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/api/index.rst @@ -4,17 +4,24 @@ API Reference ============= .. toctree:: + :hidden:
