<title>kunit: reduce stack usage in kunit_run_tests()</title>

<id>b11b9b6751b2cd74960dccd91667c5117fce743c</id>
<content type='text'>
Some of the recent changes to the kunit framework caused the stack usage
for kunit_run_tests() to grow higher than most other kernel functions,
which triggers a warning when CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is set to a relatively
low value:

lib/kunit/test.c: In function 'kunit_run_tests':
lib/kunit/test.c:801:1: error: the frame size of 1312 bytes is larger than 1280 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Split out the inner loop into a separate function to ensure that each
function remains under the limit, and pass the kunit_result_stats
structures by reference to avoid excessive copies.

Fixed checkpatch warnings at commit time:

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

In many kunit assert functions a const pointer is passed to
container_of() and out pops a non-const pointer, which really isn't the
correct thing to do at all.  Fix this up by correctly marking the
casted-to pointer as const to preserve the marking.

<title>kunit: make FAULT_TEST default to n when PANIC_ON_OOPS</title>

As describe in the help string, the user might want to disable these
tests if they don't like to see stacktraces/BUG etc in their kernel log.

However, if they enable PANIC_ON_OOPS, these tests also crash the
machine, which it's safe to assume _almost_ nobody wants.

One might argue that _absolutely_ nobody ever wants their kernel to
crash so this should just be a hard dependency instead of a default.
However, since this is rather special code that's anyway concerned with
deliberately doing "bad" things, the normal rules don't seem to apply,
hence prefer flexibility and allow users to set up a crashing Kconfig if
they so choose.

When running parameterized tests, each test case is initialized with
kunit_init_test(). This function takes the test_case-&gt;log as a parameter
but it clears it via string_stream_clear() on each iteration.

This results in only the log from the last parameter being preserved in
the test_case-&gt;log and the results from the previous parameters are lost
from the debugfs entry.

Fix this by manually setting the param_test.log to the test_case-&gt;log
after it has been initialized. This prevents kunit_init_test() from
clearing the log on each iteration.
