+Frequently Asked Questions
+=========================================
+
+How is this different from Autotest, kselftest, etc?
+====================================================
+KUnit is a unit testing framework. Autotest, kselftest (and some others) are
+not.
+
+A `unit test <https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UnitTest.html>`_ is supposed to
+test a single unit of code in isolation, hence the name. A unit test should be
+the finest granularity of testing and as such should allow all possible code
+paths to be tested in the code under test; this is only possible if the code
+under test is very small and does not have any external dependencies outside of
+the test's control like hardware.
+
+There are no testing frameworks currently available for the kernel that do not
+require installing the kernel on a test machine or in a VM and all require
+tests to be written in userspace and run on the kernel under test; this is true
+for Autotest, kselftest, and some others, disqualifying any of them from being
+considered unit testing frameworks.
+
+What is the difference between a unit test and these other kinds of tests?
+==========================================================================
+Most existing tests for the Linux kernel would be categorized as an integration
+test, or an end-to-end test.
+

+KUnit - Unit Testing for the Linux Kernel
+=========================================
+
+.. toctree::

+ api/index
+ faq
+
+What is KUnit?
+==============
+
+KUnit is a lightweight unit testing and mocking framework for the Linux kernel.
+These tests are able to be run locally on a developer's workstation without a VM
+or special hardware.
+
+KUnit is heavily inspired by JUnit, Python's unittest.mock, and
+Googletest/Googlemock for C++. KUnit provides facilities for defining unit test
+cases, grouping related test cases into test suites, providing common
+infrastructure for running tests, and much more.
+
+Get started now: :doc:`start`
+
+Why KUnit?
+==========
+
+A unit test is supposed to test a single unit of code in isolation, hence the
+name. A unit test should be the finest granularity of testing and as such should
+allow all possible code paths to be tested in the code under test; this is only
+possible if the code under test is very small and does not have any external
+dependencies outside of the test's control like hardware.
+
+Outside of KUnit, there are no testing frameworks currently
+available for the kernel that do not require installing the kernel on a test
+machine or in a VM and all require tests to be written in userspace running on
+the kernel; this is true for Autotest, and kselftest, disqualifying
+any of them from being considered unit testing frameworks.
+
+KUnit addresses the problem of being able to run tests without needing a virtual
+machine or actual hardware with User Mode Linux. User Mode Linux is a Linux
+architecture, like ARM or x86; however, unlike other architectures it compiles
+to a standalone program that can be run like any other program directly inside
+of a host operating system; to be clear, it does not require any virtualization
+support; it is just a regular program.
+
+KUnit is fast. Excluding build time, from invocation to completion KUnit can run
+several dozen tests in only 10 to 20 seconds; this might not sound like a big
+deal to some people, but having such fast and easy to run tests fundamentally
+changes the way you go about testing and even writing code in the first place.
+Linus himself said in his `git talk at Google
+<https://gist.github.com/lorn/1272686/revisions#diff-53c65572127855f1b003db4064a94573R874>`_:
+
+ "... a lot of people seem to think that performance is about doing the
+ same thing, just doing it faster, and that is not true. That is not what
+ performance is all about. If you can do something really fast, really
+ well, people will start using it differently."
+
+In this context Linus was talking about branching and merging,
+but this point also applies to testing. If your tests are slow, unreliable, are
+difficult to write, and require a special setup or special hardware to run,
+then you wait a lot longer to write tests, and you wait a lot longer to run
+tests; this means that tests are likely to break, unlikely to test a lot of
+things, and are unlikely to be rerun once they pass. If your tests are really
+fast, you run them all the time, every time you make a change, and every time
+someone sends you some code. Why trust that someone ran all their tests
+correctly on every change when you can just run them yourself in less time than
+it takes to read his / her test log?
+
+How do I use it?

+===============
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+Installing dependencies
+=======================
+KUnit has the same dependencies as the Linux kernel. As long as you can build
+the kernel, you can run KUnit.
+
+KUnit Wrapper
+=============
+Included with KUnit is a simple Python wrapper that helps format the output to
+easily use and read KUnit output. It handles building and running the kernel, as
+well as formatting the output.
+
+The wrapper can be run with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py
+
+Creating a kunitconfig
+======================
+The Python script is a thin wrapper around Kbuild as such, it needs to be
+configured with a ``kunitconfig`` file. This file essentially contains the
+regular Kernel config, with the specific test targets as well.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ git clone -b master https://kunit.googlesource.com/kunitconfig $PATH_TO_KUNITCONFIG_REPO
+ cd $PATH_TO_LINUX_REPO
+ ln -s $PATH_TO_KUNIT_CONFIG_REPO/kunitconfig kunitconfig
+
+You may want to add kunitconfig to your local gitignore.
+
+Verifying KUnit Works
+-------------------------
+
+To make sure that everything is set up correctly, simply invoke the Python
+wrapper from your kernel repo:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py
+
+.. note::
+ You may want to run ``make mrproper`` first.
+
+If everything worked correctly, you should see the following:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ Generating .config ...
+ Building KUnit Kernel ...
+ Starting KUnit Kernel ...
+
+followed by a list of tests that are run. All of them should be passing.
+
+.. note::
+ Because it is building a lot of sources for the first time, the ``Building
+ kunit kernel`` step may take a while.
+
+Writing your first test
+==========================
+
+In your kernel repo let's add some code that we can test. Create a file
+``drivers/misc/example.h`` with the contents:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int misc_example_add(int left, int right);
+
+create a file ``drivers/misc/example.c``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/errno.h>
+
+ #include "example.h"
+
+ int misc_example_add(int left, int right)
+ {
+ return left + right;
+ }
+
+Now add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Kconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: kconfig
+
+ config MISC_EXAMPLE
+ bool "My example"
+
+and the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Makefile``:
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+ obj-$(CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE) += example.o
+
+Now we are ready to write the test. The test will be in
+``drivers/misc/example-test.c``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <kunit/test.h>
+ #include "example.h"
+
+ /* Define the test cases. */
+
+ static void misc_example_add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, misc_example_add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, misc_example_add(1, 1));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, misc_example_add(-1, 1));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MAX, misc_example_add(0, INT_MAX));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -1, misc_example_add(INT_MAX, INT_MIN));
+ }
+
+ static void misc_example_test_failure(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "This test never passes.");
+ }
+
+ static struct kunit_case misc_example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE(misc_example_add_test_basic),
+ KUNIT_CASE(misc_example_test_failure),
+ {},
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_module misc_example_test_module = {
+ .name = "misc-example",
+ .test_cases = misc_example_test_cases,
+ };
+ module_test(misc_example_test_module);
+
+Now add the following to ``drivers/misc/Kconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: kconfig
+
+ config MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST
+ bool "Test for my example"
+ depends on MISC_EXAMPLE && KUNIT
+
+and the following to ``drivers/misc/Makefile``:
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+ obj-$(CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST) += example-test.o
+
+Now add it to your ``kunitconfig``:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE=y
+ CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE_TEST=y
+
+Now you can run the test:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py
+
+You should see the following failure:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ ...
+ [16:08:57] [PASSED] misc-example:misc_example_add_test_basic
+ [16:08:57] [FAILED] misc-example:misc_example_test_failure
+ [16:08:57] EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/misc/example-test.c:17
+ [16:08:57] This test never passes.
+ ...
+
+Congrats! You just wrote your first KUnit test!

+Using KUnit
+=============
+
+The purpose of this document is to describe what KUnit is, how it works, how it
+is intended to be used, and all the concepts and terminology that are needed to
+understand it. This guide assumes a working knowledge of the Linux kernel and
+some basic knowledge of testing.
+
+For a high level introduction to KUnit, including setting up KUnit for your
+project, see :doc:`start`.
+
+Organization of this document
+=================================
+
+This document is organized into two main sections: Testing and Isolating
+Behavior. The first covers what a unit test is and how to use KUnit to write
+them. The second covers how to use KUnit to isolate code and make it possible
+to unit test code that was otherwise un-unit-testable.
+
+Testing
+==========
+
+What is KUnit?
+------------------
+
+"K" is short for "kernel" so "KUnit" is the "(Linux) Kernel Unit Testing
+Framework." KUnit is intended first and foremost for writing unit tests; it is
+general enough that it can be used to write integration tests; however, this is
+a secondary goal. KUnit has no ambition of being the only testing framework for
+the kernel; for example, it does not intend to be an end-to-end testing
+framework.
+
+What is Unit Testing?
+-------------------------
+
+A `unit test <https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UnitTest.html>`_ is a test that
+tests code at the smallest possible scope, a *unit* of code. In the C
+programming language that's a function.
+
+Unit tests should be written for all the publicly exposed functions in a
+compilation unit; so that is all the functions that are exported in either a
+*class* (defined below) or all functions which are **not** static.
+
+Writing Tests
+-------------
+
+Test Cases
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The fundamental unit in KUnit is the test case. A test case is a function with
+the signature ``void (*)(struct kunit *test)``. It calls a function to be tested
+and then sets *expectations* for what should happen. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void example_test_success(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ }
+
+ void example_test_failure(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "This test never passes.");
+ }
+
+In the above example ``example_test_success`` always passes because it does
+nothing; no expectations are set, so all expectations pass. On the other hand
+``example_test_failure`` always fails because it calls ``KUNIT_FAIL``, which is
+a special expectation that logs a message and causes the test case to fail.
+
+Expectations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+An *expectation* is a way to specify that you expect a piece of code to do
+something in a test. An expectation is called like a function. A test is made
+by setting expectations about the behavior of a piece of code under test; when
+one or more of the expectations fail, the test case fails and information about
+the failure is logged. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
+ }
+
+In the above example ``add_test_basic`` makes a number of assertions about the
+behavior of a function called ``add``; the first parameter is always of type
+``struct kunit *``, which contains information about the current test context;
+the second parameter, in this case, is what the value is expected to be; the
+last value is what the value actually is. If ``add`` passes all of these
+expectations, the test case, ``add_test_basic`` will pass; if any one of these
+expectations fail, the test case will fail.
+
+It is important to understand that a test case *fails* when any expectation is
+violated; however, the test will continue running, potentially trying other
+expectations until the test case ends or is otherwise terminated. This is as
+opposed to *assertions* which are discussed later.
+
+To learn about more expectations supported by KUnit, see :doc:`api/test`.
+
+.. note::
+ A single test case should be pretty short, pretty easy to understand,
+ focused on a single behavior.
+
+For example, if we wanted to properly test the add function above, we would
+create additional tests cases which would each test a different property that an
+add function should have like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void add_test_basic(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 1, add(1, 0));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 2, add(1, 1));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_negative(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, add(-1, 1));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_max(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MAX, add(0, INT_MAX));
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -1, add(INT_MAX, INT_MIN));
+ }
+
+ void add_test_overflow(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, INT_MIN, add(INT_MAX, 1));
+ }
+
+Notice how it is immediately obvious what all the properties that we are testing
+for are.
+
+Assertions
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+KUnit also has the concept of an *assertion*. An assertion is just like an
+expectation except the assertion immediately terminates the test case if it is
+not satisfied.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static void mock_test_do_expect_default_return(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct mock_test_context *ctx = test->priv;
+ struct mock *mock = ctx->mock;
+ int param0 = 5, param1 = -5;
+ const char *two_param_types[] = {"int", "int"};
+ const void *two_params[] = {¶m0, ¶m1};
+ const void *ret;
+
+ ret = mock->do_expect(mock,
+ "test_printk", test_printk,
+ two_param_types, two_params,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(two_params));
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, ret);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -4, *((int *) ret));
+ }
+
+In this example, the method under test should return a pointer to a value, so
+if the pointer returned by the method is null or an errno, we don't want to
+bother continuing the test since the following expectation could crash the test
+case. `ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(...)` allows us to bail out of the test case if
+the appropriate conditions have not been satisfied to complete the test.
+
+Modules / Test Suites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now obviously one unit test isn't very helpful; the power comes from having
+many test cases covering all of your behaviors. Consequently it is common to
+have many *similar* tests; in order to reduce duplication in these closely
+related tests most unit testing frameworks provide the concept of a *test
+suite*, in KUnit we call it a *test module*; all it is is just a collection of
+test cases for a unit of code with a set up function that gets invoked before
+every test cases and then a tear down function that gets invoked after every
+test case completes.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_foo),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_bar),
+ KUNIT_CASE(example_test_baz),
+ {},
+ };
+
+ static struct kunit_module example_test_module[] = {
+ .name = "example",
+ .init = example_test_init,
+ .exit = example_test_exit,
+ .test_cases = example_test_cases,
+ };
+ module_test(example_test_module);
+
+In the above example the test suite, ``example_test_module``, would run the test
+cases ``example_test_foo``, ``example_test_bar``, and ``example_test_baz``, each
+would have ``example_test_init`` called immediately before it and would have
+``example_test_exit`` called immediately after it.
+``module_test(example_test_module)`` registers the test suite with the KUnit
+test framework.
+
+.. note::
+ A test case will only be run if it is associated with a test suite.
+
+For a more information on these types of things see the :doc:`api/test`.
+
+Isolating Behavior
+==================
+
+The most important aspect of unit testing that other forms of testing do not
+provide is the ability to limit the amount of code under test to a single unit.
+In practice, this is only possible by being able to control what code gets run
+when the unit under test calls a function and this is usually accomplished
+through some sort of indirection where a function is exposed as part of an API
+such that the definition of that function can be changed without affecting the
+rest of the code base. In the kernel this primarily comes from two constructs,
+classes, structs that contain function pointers that are provided by the
+implementer, and architecture specific functions which have definitions selected
+at compile time.
+
+Classes
+-------
+
+Classes are not a construct that is built into the C programming language;
+however, it is an easily derived concept. Accordingly, pretty much every project
+that does not use a standardized object oriented library (like GNOME's GObject)
+has their own slightly different way of doing object oriented programming; the
+Linux kernel is no exception.
+
+The central concept in kernel object oriented programming is the class. In the
+kernel, a *class* is a struct that contains function pointers. This creates a
+contract between *implementers* and *users* since it forces them to use the
+same function signature without having to call the function directly. In order
+for it to truly be a class, the function pointers must specify that a pointer
+to the class, known as a *class handle*, be one of the parameters; this makes
+it possible for the member functions (also known as *methods*) to have access
+to member variables (more commonly known as *fields*) allowing the same
+implementation to have multiple *instances*.
+
+Typically a class can be *overridden* by *child classes* by embedding the
+*parent class* in the child class. Then when a method provided by the child
+class is called, the child implementation knows that the pointer passed to it is
+of a parent contained within the child; because of this, the child can compute
+the pointer to itself because the pointer to the parent is always a fixed offset
+from the pointer to the child; this offset is the offset of the parent contained
+in the child struct. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct shape {
+ int (*area)(struct shape *this);
+ };
+
+ struct rectangle {
+ struct shape parent;
+ int length;
+ int width;
+ };
+
+ int rectangle_area(struct shape *this)
+ {
+ struct rectangle *self = container_of(this, struct shape, parent);
+
+ return self->length * self->width;
+ };
+
+ void rectangle_new(struct rectangle *self, int length, int width)
+ {
+ self->parent.area = rectangle_area;
+ self->length = length;
+ self->width = width;
+ }
+
+In this example (as in most kernel code) the operation of computing the pointer
+to the child from the pointer to the parent is done by ``container_of``.
+
+Faking Classes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to unit test a piece of code that calls a method in a class, the
+behavior of the method must be controllable, otherwise the test ceases to be a
+unit test and becomes an integration test.
+
+A fake just provides an implementation of a piece of code that is different than
+what runs in a production instance, but behaves identically from the standpoint
+of the callers; this is usually done to replace a dependency that is hard to
+deal with, or is slow.
+
+A good example for this might be implementing a fake EEPROM that just stores the
+"contents" in an internal buffer. For example, let's assume we have a class that
+represents an EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom {
+ ssize_t (*read)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count);
+ ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count);
+ };
+
+And we want to test some code that buffers writes to the EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer {
+ ssize_t (*write)(struct eeprom_buffer *this, const char *buffer, size_t count);
+ int flush(struct eeprom_buffer *this);
+ size_t flush_count; /* Flushes when buffer exceeds flush_count. */
+ };
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer *new_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);
+ void destroy_eeprom_buffer(struct eeprom *eeprom);
+
+We can easily test this code by *faking out* the underlying EEPROM:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct fake_eeprom {
+ struct eeprom parent;
+ char contents[FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE];
+ };
+
+ ssize_t fake_eeprom_read(struct eeprom *parent, size_t offset, char *buffer, size_t count)
+ {
+ struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);
+
+ count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
+ memcpy(buffer, this->contents + offset, count);
+
+ return count;
+ }
+
+ ssize_t fake_eeprom_write(struct eeprom *this, size_t offset, const char *buffer, size_t count)
+ {
+ struct fake_eeprom *this = container_of(parent, struct fake_eeprom, parent);
+
+ count = min(count, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE - offset);
+ memcpy(this->contents + offset, buffer, count);
+
+ return count;
+ }
+
+ void fake_eeprom_init(struct fake_eeprom *this)
+ {
+ this->parent.read = fake_eeprom_read;
+ this->parent.write = fake_eeprom_write;
+ memset(this->contents, 0, FAKE_EEPROM_CONTENTS_SIZE);
+ }
+
+We can now use it to test ``struct eeprom_buffer``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct eeprom_buffer_test {
+ struct fake_eeprom *fake_eeprom;
+ struct eeprom_buffer *eeprom_buffer;

+
