This kselftest update for Linux 5.5-rc1 adds KUnit, a lightweight unit testing and mocking framework for the Linux kernel from Brendan Higgins. KUnit is not an end-to-end testing framework. It is currently supported on UML and sub-systems can write unit tests and run them in UML env. KUnit documentation is included in this update. In addition, this Kunit update adds 3 new kunit tests: - kunit test for proc sysctl from Iurii Zaikin - kunit test for the 'list' doubly linked list from David Gow - ext4 kunit test for decoding extended timestamps from Iurii Zaikin In the future KUnit will be linked to Kselftest framework to provide a way to trigger KUnit tests from user-space. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEPZKym/RZuOCGeA/kCwJExA0NQxwFAl3YfBQACgkQCwJExA0N QxzTjxAAiFhaDMhlpLhn1DpIUNvfKrIgDjJgajQAyMMs6TJK3OrD6J4WbpVD7wGo aqF9l6o64sY18JAo3s00j6AcAmVwNH7qzEEuzIQPjJvQ8C4sCWL3esEP4JHgFb2F snlSn5KjSsdC1D9N7uQIhgW76xPSyDrTwWQpglvmB9TwmJVBIl9zhu+unp73ufFJ N+ieDg8A6W/wDGYSq5JBSkJbuI0gL+daNwUYzxEEZIskndhpovOc82WAldECRm6x TfI0u39zTbrEO0DHgmYpyGbTN8TB2mXjH5HMjwg+KbHfKVTKKGvTK7XFs8mWGQpO n2meypZuwuIsRPOPcAVs+Gt2dc0jFODJVIV1EzA0WSv6TEdPqyhM/d13tHdCqjm9 ic5wQ/hQQNEB1Dvg5ereXBaGGaoqP95y61ZpCS9vCXFXH+28E/B63Ebfs2IBIuqS Jv2KcoxabyZq3uGdjnn+mD7IM8rkvscRP4Ba31nXRgJIYDHAzqe7APN7y3on4NGx 1q7lBlA3XZZ8qgo0zpLST20ck/qaL3tk4k8E1f8emh6CuyrCWtazgrWkMIlyEX0O 8nre3uEAF9xUzB4+gZK4YmelN9Bld3Uv7Ippt1zTCiQ0FkEABQIMUrTZygy7Wfg6 6qi4dk8frWW4Kt63gOXsMxr9FWTqDk+Ys4GPAVDVm1d0dzERn8k= =0zEe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-5.5-rc1-kunit' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest Pull kselftest KUnit support gtom Shuah Khan: "This adds KUnit, a lightweight unit testing and mocking framework for the Linux kernel from Brendan Higgins.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
