gcov: docs: add a note on GCC vs Clang differences

2019-05-15T02:52:51Z

Document some things of note to gcov users: 1. GCC gcov and Clang llvm-cov tools are not compatible. 2. The use of GCC vs Clang is transparent at build-time. Also adjust the documentation to account for the removal of config symbol CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT by commit 6a61b70b43c9 ("gcov: remove CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT").

kselftest: Add test module framework header

2019-04-08T22:44:20Z

kselftest runs as a userspace process. Sometimes we need to test things from kernel space. One way of doing this is by creating a test module. Currently doing so requires developers to write a bunch of boiler plate in the module if kselftest is to be used to run the tests. This means we currently have a load of duplicate code to achieve these ends. If we have a uniform method for implementing test modules then we can reduce code duplication, ensure uniformity in the test framework, ease code maintenance, and reduce the work required to create tests. This all helps to encourage developers to write and run tests. Add a C header file that can be included in test modules. This provides a single point for common test functions/macros. Implement a few macros that make up the start of the test framework. Add documentation for new kselftest header to kselftest documentation. Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
