Delete "kunit-tool.rst" to remove repeated info from KUnit docs. "What is kunit_tool?" was integrated into index.rst, the remaining sections were moved into run_wrapper.rst and renamed as follows: "What is a .kunitconfig?" -> "Creating a ``.kunitconfig`` file" "Getting Started with kunit_tool" -> "Running tests with kunit_tool" "Configuring, Building, and Running Tests" -> "Configuring, building, and running tests" "Running Tests on QEMU" -> "Running tests on QEMU" "Parsing Test Results" -> "Parsing test results" "Filtering Tests" -> "Filtering tests" "Other Useful Options" -> "Running command-line arguments" Signed-off-by: Tales Aparecida <tales.aparecida@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Sadiya Kazi <sadiyakazi@google.com> Reviewed-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>

2021-05-21Documentation: kunit: add tips for running KUnitDaniel Latypov1-0/+1
This is long overdue. There are several things that aren't nailed down (in-tree .kunitconfig's), or partially broken (GCOV on UML), but having them documented, warts and all, is better than having nothing. This covers a bunch of the more recent features * kunit_filter_glob * kunit.py run --kunitconfig * slightly more detail on building tests as modules * CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS By my count, the only headline features now not mentioned are the KASAN integration and KernelCI json output support (kunit.py run --json). And then it also discusses how to get code coverage reports under UML and non-UML since this is a question people have repeatedly asked. Non-UML coverage collection is no different from normal, but we should probably explicitly call this out. As for UML, I was able to get it working again with two small hacks.* E.g. with CONFIG_KUNIT=y && CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y Overall coverage rate: lines......: 15.1% (18294 of 120776 lines) functions..: 16.8% (1860 of 11050 functions) Note: this doesn't document --alltests since this is not stable yet. Hopefully being run more frequently as part of KernelCI will help... *Using gcc/gcov-6 and not using uml_abort() in os_dump_core(). I've documented these hacks in "Notes" but left TODOs for brendanhiggins@google.com who tracked down the runtime issue in GCC. To be clear: these are not issues specific to KUnit, but rather to UML.

2021-02-09Documentation: kunit: add tips.rst for small examplesDaniel Latypov1-0/+2
./usage.rst contains fairly long examples and explanations of things like how to fake a class and how to use parameterized tests (and how you could do table-driven tests yourself). It's not exactly necessary information, so we add a new page with more digestible tips like "use kunit_kzalloc() instead of kzalloc() so you don't have to worry about calling kfree() yourself" and the like. Change start.rst to point users to this new page first and let them know that usage.rst is more of optional further reading.

As discussed in [1], KUnit tests have hitherto not had a particularly consistent naming scheme. This adds documentation outlining how tests and test suites should be named, including how those names should be used in Kconfig entries and filenames.
