lib/test: convert lib/test_list_sort.c to use KUnit

2021-06-25T17:31:03Z

Functionally, this just means that the test output will be slightly changed and it'll now depend on CONFIG_KUNIT=y/m. It'll still run at boot time and can still be built as a loadable module. There was a pre-existing patch to convert this test that I found later, here [1]. Compared to [1], this patch doesn't rename files and uses KUnit features more heavily (i.e. does more than converting pr_err() calls to KUNIT_FAIL()). What this conversion gives us: * a shorter test thanks to KUnit's macros * a way to run this a bit more easily via kunit.py (and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y) [2] * a structured way of reporting pass/fail * uses kunit-managed allocations to avoid the risk of memory leaks * more descriptive error messages: * i.e. it prints out which fields are invalid, what the expected values are, etc. What this conversion does not do: * change the name of the file (and thus the name of the module) * change the name of the config option Leaving these as-is for now to minimize the impact to people wanting to run this test. IMO, that concern trumps following KUnit's style guide for both names, at least for now.

treewide: Change list_sort to use const pointers

2021-04-08T23:04:22Z

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking. Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type mismatches.

lib: add module support to linked list sorting tests

2017-05-09T00:15:10Z

Extract the linked list sorting test code into its own source file, to allow to compile it either to a loadable module, or builtin into the kernel.
