[PATCH] kunit: Move kunit_abort() call out of kunit_do_failed_assertion()

From: David Gow
Date: Wed May 31 2023 - 01:22:13 EST


KUnit aborts the current thread when an assertion fails. Currently, this
is done conditionally as part of the kunit_do_failed_assertion()
function, but this hides the kunit_abort() call from the compiler
(particularly if it's in another module). This, in turn, can lead to
both suboptimal code generation (the compiler can't know if
kunit_do_failed_assertion() will return), and to static analysis tools
like smatch giving false positives.

Moving the kunit_abort() call into the macro should give the compiler
and tools a better chance at understanding what's going on. Doing so
requires exporting kunit_abort(), though it's recommended to continue to
use assertions in lieu of aborting directly.

In addition, kunit_abort() and kunit_do_failed_assertion() are renamed
to make it clear they they're intended for internal KUnit use, to:
__kunit_do_failed_assertion() and __kunit_abort()

Changes since RFCv1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230526075355.586335-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Add missing MODULE_EXPORT_GPL() (Thanks kernel test robot)
- Rename kunit_abort() and kunit_do_failed_assertion() to make it clear
they're intended for internal use.
- Thanks Daniel Latypov!
