[PATCH v2 1/2] kunit: Expose 'static stub' API to redirect functions

From: David Gow
Date: Sat Jan 28 2023 - 02:49:32 EST


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.

This patch depends upon the 'hooks' implementation in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230128071007.1134942-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/

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 v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221208061841.2186447-2-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Adapted to use the "hooks" mechanism
- See: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230128071007.1134942-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Now works when KUnit itself is compiled as a module (CONFIG_KUNIT=m)

Changes since RFC v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20220910212804.670622-2-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/
- 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@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Use typecheck_fn() to fix typechecking in some cases (thanks Brendan)
