[RFC PATCH 0/3] Introduce KUnit tests for TTM subsystem

[Karolina Stolarek]

This series introduces KUnit[1] tests for TTM (Translation Table Manager)
subsystem, a memory manager used by graphics drivers to create and manage
memory buffers across different memory domains, such as system memory
or VRAM.

Unit tests implemented here cover two data structures:
  - ttm_device -- referred as a buffer object device, which stores
    resource managers and page pools
  - ttm_pool -- a struct of pools (ttm_pool_type) of different page
    orders and caching attributes, with pages that can be reused on
    the next buffer allocation

Use kunit_tool script to manually run the tests:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/tests

To build a kernel with TTM KUnit tests, enable CONFIG_DRM_TTM_KUNIT_TEST
symbol.

As for now, tests are architecture-agnostic (i.e. KUnit runner uses UML
kernel), which means that we have limited coverage in some places. For
example, we can't fully test the initialization of global page pools,
such as global_write_combined. It is to be decided if we want to stick
to UML or use CONFIG_X86 (at least to some extent).

These patches are just a beginning of the work to improve the test
coverage of TTM. Feel free to suggest changes, test cases or priorities.

Many thanks,
Karolina
