[PATCH v4 0/5] kunit: Add helpers for creating test-managed devices

[davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx]

KUnit tests often need to provide a struct device, and thus far have
mostly been using root_device_register() or platform devices to create
a 'fake device' for use with, e.g., code which uses device-managed
resources. This has several disadvantages, including not being designed
for test use, scattering files in sysfs, and requiring manual teardown
on test exit, which may not always be possible in case of failure.

Instead, introduce a set of helper functions which allow devices
(internally a struct kunit_device) to be created and managed by KUnit --
i.e., they will be automatically unregistered on test exit. These
helpers can either use a user-provided struct device_driver, or have one
automatically created and managed by KUnit. In both cases, the device
lives on a new kunit_bus.

This is a follow-up to a previous proposal here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230325043104.3761770-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/

(The kunit_defer() function in the first patch there has since been
merged as the 'deferred actions' feature.)

My intention is to take this whole series in via the kselftest/kunit
branch, but I'm equally okay with splitting up the later patches which
use this to go via the various subsystem trees in case there are merge
conflicts.

Cheers,
-- David

Changes in v4:
- Update tags, fix a missing Signed-off-by.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231214-kunit_bus-v3-0-7e9a287d3048@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Port the DRM tests to these new helpers (Thanks, Maxime!)
- Include the lib/kunit/device-impl.h file, which was missing from the
  previous revision.
- Fix a use-after-free bug in kunit_device_driver_test, which resulted
  in memory corruption on some clang-built UML builds.
  - The 'test_state' is now allocated with kunit_kzalloc(), not on the
    stack, as the stack will be gone when cleanup occurs.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208-kunit_bus-v2-0-e95905d9b325@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Simplify device/driver/bus matching, removing the no-longer-required
  kunit_bus_match function. (Thanks, Greg)
- The return values are both more consistent (kunit_device_register now
  returns an explicit error pointer, rather than failing the test), and
  better documented.
- Add some basic documentation to the implementations as well as the
  headers. The documentation in the headers is still more complete, and
  is now properly compiled into the HTML documentation (under
  dev-tools/kunit/api/resources.html). (Thanks, Matti)
- Moved the internal-only kunit_bus_init() function to a private header,
  lib/kunit/device-impl.h to avoid polluting the public headers, and
  match other internal-only headers. (Thanks, Greg)
- Alphabetise KUnit includes in other test modules. (Thanks, Amadeusz.)
- Several code cleanups, particularly around error handling and
  allocation. (Thanks Greg, Maxime)
- Several const-correctness and casting improvements. (Thanks, Greg)
- Added a new test to verify KUnit cleanup triggers device cleanup.
  (Thanks, Maxime).
- Improved the user-specified device test to verify that probe/remove
  hooks are called correctly. (Thanks, Maxime).
- The overflow test no-longer needlessly calls
  kunit_device_unregister().
- Several other minor cleanups and documentation improvements, which
  hopefully make this a bit clearer and more robust.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231205-kunit_bus-v1-0-635036d3bc13@xxxxxxxxxx
