[PATCH v2 2/3] kunit: Use the static key when retrieving the current test

David Gow
2022-10-25T07:19:34Z

In order to detect if a KUnit test is running, and to access its
context, the 'kunit_test' member of the current task_struct is used.
Usually, this is accessed directly or via the kunit_fail_current_task()
function.

In order to speed up the case where no test is running, add a wrapper,
kunit_get_current_test(), which uses the static key to fail early.
Equally, Speed up kunit_fail_current_test() by using the static key.

This should make it convenient for code to call this
unconditionally in fakes or error paths, without worrying that this will
slow the code down significantly.

If CONFIG_KUNIT=n, this compiles away to nothing. If CONFIG_KUNIT=y, it
will compile down to a NOP (on most architectures) if no KUnit test is
currently running. kunit_fail_current_test() does not work if KUnit
itself is built as a module, though this is a pre-existing limitation.

Note that the definition of kunit_fail_current_test() still wraps an
empty, inline function if KUnit is not built-in. This is to ensure that
the printf format string __attribute__ will still work.

Also update the documentation to suggest users use the new
kunit_get_current_test() function, update the example, and to describe
the behaviour when KUnit is disabled better.

As-is, the only code which will be directly affected by this (via the
kunit_fail_current_test() change) will be UBSAN's KUnit integration.

Patches to port other tests to use kunit_get_current_test() will be sent
separately (other than the SLUB one in patch 3/3). KASAN in particular
are reworking their KUnit tests and integration, so we'll use this in a
follow up to avoid introducing a conflict.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20221021072854.333010-2-davidgow@google.com/
- Fix a missing '}' which broke everything. Thanks Kees, kernel test
robot.
- Add the new kunit_get_current_test() function, as most of the cases
where we retrieve the current test (even to fail it) were accessing
current->kunit_test directly, not using kunit_fail_current_test().
- Add some documentation comments.
- Update the documentation in usage.rst.
- The version in tips.rst was not updated, and will be removed:
