To accommodate varying hardware performance and use cases,
the default kunit test case timeout (currently 300 seconds)
is now configurable. Users can adjust the timeout by
either setting the 'timeout' module parameter or the
KUNIT_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT Kconfig option to their desired
timeout in seconds.

The new option controls tests run on boot or module load. With the new
debugfs "run" dentry allowing to run tests on demand, an ability to disable
automatic tests run becomes a useful option in case of intrusive tests.

The option is set to true by default to preserve the existent behavior. It
can be overridden by either the corresponding module option or by the
corresponding config build option.

<title>kunit: test: Move fault tests behind KUNIT_FAULT_TEST Kconfig option</title>

The NULL dereference tests in kunit_fault deliberately trigger a kernel
BUG(), and therefore print the associated stack trace, even when the
test passes. This is both annoying (as it bloats the test output), and
can confuse some test harnesses, which assume any BUG() is a failure.

Allow these tests to be specifically disabled (without disabling all
of KUnit's other tests), by placing them behind the
CONFIG_KUNIT_FAULT_TEST Kconfig option. This is enabled by default, but
can be set to 'n' to disable the test. An empty 'kunit_fault' suite is
left behind, which will automatically be marked 'skipped'.

As the fault tests already were disabled under UML (as they weren't
compatible with its fault handling), we can simply adapt those
conditions, and add a dependency on !UML for our new option.

<title>kunit: Allow kunit test modules to use test filtering</title>

External tools, e.g., Intel GPU tools (IGT), support execution of
individual selftests provided by kernel modules.  That could be also
applicable to kunit test modules if they provided test filtering.  But
test filtering is now possible only when kunit code is built into the
kernel.  Moreover, a filter can be specified only at boot time, then
reboot is required each time a different filter is needed.

Build the test filtering code also when kunit is configured as a module,
expose test filtering functions to other kunit source files, and use them
in kunit module notifier callback functions.  Userspace can then reload
the kunit module with a value of the filter_glob parameter tuned to a
specific kunit test module every time it wants to limit the scope of tests
executed on that module load.  Make the kunit.filter* parameters visible
in sysfs for user convenience.

v5: Refresh on tpp of attributes filtering fix
v4: Refresh on top of newly applied attributes patches and changes
    introdced by new versions of other patches submitted in series with
    this one.
v3: Fix CONFIG_GLOB, required by filtering functions, not selected when
    building as a module (lkp@intel.com).
v2: Fix new name of a structure moved to kunit namespace not updated
    across all uses (lkp@intel.com).

This patch adds the kunit.enable module parameter that will need to be
set to true in addition to KUNIT being enabled for KUnit tests to run.
The default value is true giving backwards compatibility. However, for
the production+testing use case the new config option
KUNIT_DEFAULT_ENABLED can be set to N requiring the tester to opt-in
by passing kunit.enable=1 to the kernel.

<title>kunit: add kunit.filter_glob cmdline option to filter suites</title>

E.g. specifying this would run suites with "list" in their name.
  kunit.filter_glob=list*

Note: the executor prints out a TAP header that includes the number of
suites we intend to run.
So unless we want to report empty results for filtered-out suites, we
need to do the filtering here in the executor.
It's also probably better in the executor since we most likely don't
want any filtering to apply to tests built as modules.

This code does add a CONFIG_GLOB=y dependency for CONFIG_KUNIT=y.
But the code seems light enough that it shouldn't be an issue.

For now, we only filter on suite names so we don't have to create copies
of the suites themselves, just the array (of arrays) holding them.

The name is rather generic since in the future, we could consider
extending it to a syntax like:
  kunit.filter_glob=&lt;suite_glob&gt;.&lt;test_glob&gt;
E.g. to run all the del list tests
  kunit.filter_glob=list-kunit-test.*del*

But at the moment, it's far easier to manually comment out test cases in
test files as opposed to messing with sets of Kconfig entries to select
specific suites.
So even just doing this makes using kunit far less annoying.

Adding 'if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS' so individual tests can not be turned off.
Therefore if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS is enabled that will hide the prompt in

Making kunit itself buildable as a module allows for "always-on"
kunit configuration; specifying CONFIG_KUNIT=m means the module
is built but only used when loaded.  Kunit test modules will load
kunit.ko as an implicit dependency, so simply running
"modprobe my-kunit-tests" will load the tests along with the kunit
module and run them.
