This is very neat, and works very well here -- thanks!

I can reproduce your above results with:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y
--make_options LLVM=1 'rust_doctests_kernel'

(And also with --arch x86_64 to run under Qemu, rather than UML)

Yeah, it'd be great to have rustdoc generate a better name. I agree
that <file>_<counter> is the best balance of stability and
descriptivity in the meantime. It should only change if new tests are
added or reordered, not just with any change to the actual code.

The other idea we discussed of doing, e.g., hashes of the test source
would be more stable, but the ugliness of it probably isn't worth it.

Yeah, we're looking at a general "test attributes" feature, which
would provide a standard way of providing extra data about test cases,
which would be included in the output, and could even be filtered
upon.

There's a link to it below.

While I have some reservations about this in general, I think it makes
sense for the doctests at least. It may be worth also supplying "more
direct" bindings for features which map less well to existing Rust
assertions and features, such as expectations, resources, mocks, etc.
However, I think we can add these (a) as we develop tests which would
benefit for them, and (b) once we expand the scope of KUnit testing
beyond just doctests.

The context becoming implicit is also a tradeoff (as mentioned a bit
below), but I think it's worth doing for those stated reasons. If it
proves really successful, we can look into changing the C API to
implicitly use the current task's test context as well, though we'll
accept the divergence for now.

Yes: this is a restriction on the KUnit execution environment at the
moment. Tests are expected to be single-threaded, or at least to
manage any extra threads themselves. This means that:
- assertions don't work in non-main threads (though the KUnit
'expectation' feature does, which we can expose in Rust if it is
needed)
- it's the user's responsibility to make sure all threads exit when
the test's main thread ends.

These obviously aren't ideal (particularly compared to the level of
safety Rust usually provides), but we'll look at better ways of
handling tests which spawn threads in KUnit going forward.

This looks good to me. I've left a few comments below, but none of
them are deal breakers if you feel strongly about keeping things the
way they are.

I wonder whether it'd make sense to have the name / description here
call out doctests specifically. If we want to add Rust support for
more explicit KUnit tests, as in
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/pull/950 then those might have
a better claim to the _KUNIT_TEST suffix.

I'd be happy if this became RUST_KERNEL_DOCTESTS or similar.

This will conflict with:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/commit/?h=kunit&id=260755184cbdb267a046e7ffd397c1d2ba09bb5e

Basically, kunit_do_failed_assertion() has gained a couple of
underscores to become __kunit_do_failed_assertion(), and it no longer
aborts the test itself, requiring an extra call to __kunit_abort().

With those two changes, this works well here: I assume they'll be
picked up on a rebase if we want to push this via the kselftest/kunit
tree for 6.6.

While I think there are some advantages to passing the `struct kunit
*` context around manually (in particular, I suspect a number of the
lifecycle issues we have with threads would actually be nicely
modelled by the Rust ownership/borrowing model on the context), I
agree that being more consistent with the way doctests work outside
the kernel is the better path here.

We may revisit this with future KUnit bindings, though, or we may
update the C version to use kunit_get_current_test() more.
(Particularly once we have a better solution for the threading issues
below.)

Ideally, I think this should try to follow the (still in progress)
KTAP attribute format:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230420205734.1288498-1-rmoar@xxxxxxxxxx/T/

Ultimately, that should probably be implemented as a KUnit attribute,
but just printing something like "# line: {}" or "# <test_name>.line:
{}" ought to work until that's landed:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230610005149.1145665-1-rmoar@xxxxxxxxxx/

I think Boqun's suggestion from the cover letter to map assertion
file/lines is better still, but that obviously only triggers when an
assertion actually fails. And while kunit.py does hide diagnostic
lines when a test passes, something like this could still be useful
for people running KUnit manually, or using the --raw_output option.

We may want to eventually do all of this in Rust, rather than
generating a C file, but that obviously should wait until more
complete KUnit bindings exist. (And, even then, it may still make
sense to piggy-back on the C macro implementations if they still make
sense.)
