Subject: [PATCH v6 1/8] lib/string_kunit: add correctness test for strlen()
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:02:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129070227.220866-2-jiangfeng@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129070227.220866-1-jiangfeng@kylinos.cn>

Add a KUnit test for strlen() to verify correctness across
different string lengths and memory alignments. Use vmalloc()
to place the NUL character at the page boundary to ensure
over-reads are detected.
