docs/scripts/gdb: add necessary make scripts_gdb step

2023-03-10T08:29:18Z

[ Upstream commit 6b219431037bf98c9efd49716aea9b68440477a3 ] In order to debug the kernel successfully with gdb you need to run 'make scripts_gdb' nowadays. This was changed with the following commit: Commit 67274c083438340ad16c ("scripts/gdb: delay generation of gdb constants.py") In order to have a complete guide for beginners this remark should be added to the offial documentation.

Documentation: dev-tools: Clarify requirements for result description

2022-12-12T21:13:48Z

Currently the KTAP specification says that a test result line is [][ # [] []] and the description of a test can be "any sequence of words (can't include #)" which specifies that there may be more than one word but does not specify anything other than those words which might be used to separate the words which probably isn't what we want. Given that practically we have tests using a range of separators for words including combinations of spaces and combinations of other symbols like underscores or punctuation let's just clarify that the description can contain any character other than # (marking the start of the directive/diagnostic) or newline (marking the end of this test result).

Documentation: kunit: Fix "How Do I Use This" / "Next Steps" sections

2022-12-12T21:13:48Z

The "How Do I Use This" section of index.rst and "Next Steps" section of start.rst were just copies of the table of contents, and therefore weren't really useful either when looking a sphinx generated output (which already had the TOC visible) or when reading the source (where it's just a list of files that ls could give you). Instead, provide a small number of concrete next steps, and a bit more description about what the pages contain. This also removes the broken reference to 'tips.rst', which was previously removed.

kunit: Use the static key when retrieving the current test

2022-12-12T21:13:47Z

In order to detect if a KUnit test is running, and to access its context, the 'kunit_test' member of the current task_struct is used. Usually, this is accessed directly or via the kunit_fail_current_task() function. In order to speed up the case where no test is running, add a wrapper, kunit_get_current_test(), which uses the static key to fail early. Equally, Speed up kunit_fail_current_test() by using the static key. This should make it convenient for code to call this unconditionally in fakes or error paths, without worrying that this will slow the code down significantly. If CONFIG_KUNIT=n (or m), this compiles away to nothing. If CONFIG_KUNIT=y, it will compile down to a NOP (on most architectures) if no KUnit test is currently running. Note that kunit_get_current_test() does not work if KUnit is built as a module. This mirrors the existing restriction on kunit_fail_current_test(). Note that the definition of kunit_fail_current_test() still wraps an empty, inline function if KUnit is not built-in. This is to ensure that the printf format string __attribute__ will still work. Also update the documentation to suggest users use the new kunit_get_current_test() function, update the example, and to describe the behaviour when KUnit is disabled better.

Documentation: kunit: Remove redundant 'tips.rst' page

2022-12-12T21:13:47Z

The contents of 'tips.rst' was mostly included in 'usage.rst' way back in commit 953574390634 ("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"), but the tips page remained behind as well. The parent patches in this series fill in the gaps, so now 'tips.rst' is redundant. Therefore, delete 'tips.rst'. While I regret breaking any links to 'tips' which might exist externally, it's confusing to have two subtly different versions of the same content around.

Documentation: KUnit: reword description of assertions

2022-12-12T21:13:47Z

The existing wording implies that kunit_kmalloc_array() is "the method under test". We're actually testing the sort() function in that example. This is because the example was changed in commit 953574390634 ("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"), but the wording was not. Also add a `note` telling people they can use the KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ() macros from any function. Some users might be coming from a framework like gUnit where that'll compile but silently do the wrong thing.

Documentation: KUnit: make usage.rst a superset of tips.rst, remove duplication

2022-12-12T21:13:47Z

usage.rst had most of the content of the tips.rst page copied over. But it's missing https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.0/dev-tools/kunit/tips.html#customizing-error-messages Copy it over so we can retire tips.rst w/o losing content. And in that process, it also gained a duplicate section about how KUNIT_ASSERT_*() exit the test case early. Remove that.
