sorry for the delay on this

Currently in order to test a static function, tests must be included in the

And the issue is? An ugly include of C file that only happens if kunit is
built. Also that you can't make the kunit code a module but is that really
an issue?
the first patch in this series creates a macro that will set a function to
be static or not depending on whether CONFIG_KUNIT is enabled. This allows
the function to be visible during testing and static otherwise.
As an example, the current status quo to test static functions is:
=== test.c ===
static void test_case(struct kunit *test)
{
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, my_func_to_test(), 2);
}
Then the tests are included in the implementation file as a workaround to
the issue of testing static functions:
=== implementation.c ===
static int my_func_to_test() {...}
...
#include "test.c"
Instead, the function could be defined with this new macro:
=== implementation.c ===
VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT int my_func_to_test() {...}
The first patch also creates a macro that will export a symbol into a kunit
testing namespace only if CONFIG_KUNIT is enabled. This follows the logic
above and allows symbols to be conditionally exported based on the testing
status.
The second patch in the series updates the policy_unpack test in AppArmor
to show an example of how to use both of these macros in order to address
the issue of testing static functions.

kunit: add macro to allow conditionally exposing static symbols to
tests
apparmor: test: make static symbols visible during kunit testing
