[PATCH v1 0/8] Run KUnit tests late and handle faults

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Thu Feb 29 2024 - 12:05:51 EST


Hi,

This patch series moves KUnit test execution at the very end of kernel
initialization, just before launching the init process. This opens the
way to test any kernel code in its normal state (i.e. fully
initialized).

This patch series also teaches KUnit to handle kthread faults as errors,
and it brings a few related fixes and improvements.

New tests check NULL pointer dereference and read-only memory, which
wasn't possible before.

This is useful to test current kernel self-protection mechanisms or
future ones such as Heki: https://github.com/heki-linux

Regards,

Mickaël Salaün (8):
kunit: Run tests when the kernel is fully setup
kunit: Handle thread creation error
kunit: Fix kthread reference
kunit: Fix timeout message
kunit: Handle test faults
kunit: Fix KUNIT_SUCCESS() calls in iov_iter tests
kunit: Print last test location on fault
kunit: Add tests for faults
