This will require changes in arch-specific code.

The module is called ``test_kasan``. + +(2) Built-In +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` built-in, ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` can be built-in +on any architecure that supports KASAN. These and any other KUnit +tests enabled will run and print the results at boot as a late-init +call. + +(3) Using kunit_tool +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` and ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` built-in, we can also +use kunit_tool to see the results of these along with other KUnit +tests in a more readable way. This will not print the KASAN reports +of tests that passed. Use `KUnit documentation <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/index.html>`_ for more up-to-date +information on kunit_tool. + +.. _KUnit: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/index.html + +``CONFIG_TEST_KASAN_MODULE`` is a set of KASAN tests that could not be +converted to KUnit. These tests can be run only as a module with +``CONFIG_TEST_KASAN_MODULE`` built as a loadable module and +``CONFIG_KASAN`` built-in. The type of error expected and the +function being run is printed before the expression expected to give +an error. Then the error is printed, if found, and that test +should be interpretted to pass only if the error was the one expected +by the test. -- 2.28.0.618.gf4bc123cb7-goog
