SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -================= -kunit_tool How-To -================= - -What is kunit_tool? -=================== - -kunit_tool is a script (``tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py``) that aids in building -the Linux kernel as UML (`User Mode Linux -<http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/>`_), running KUnit tests, parsing -the test results and displaying them in a user friendly manner. - -What is a kunitconfig? -====================== - -It's just a defconfig that kunit_tool looks for in the base directory. -kunit_tool uses it to generate a .config as you might expect. In addition, it -verifies that the generated .config contains the CONFIG options in the -kunitconfig; the reason it does this is so that it is easy to be sure that a -CONFIG that enables a test actually ends up in the .config. - -How do I use kunit_tool? -======================== - -If a kunitconfig is present at the root directory, all you have to do is: - -.. code-block:: bash - - ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run - -However, you most likely want to use it with the following options: - -.. code-block:: bash - - ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --timeout=30 --jobs=`nproc --all` - -- ``--timeout`` sets a maximum amount of time to allow tests to run. -- ``--jobs`` sets the number of threads to use to build the kernel. - -If you just want to use the defconfig that ships with the kernel, you can -append the ``--defconfig`` flag as well: - -.. code-block:: bash - - ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --timeout=30 --jobs=`nproc --all` --defconfig - -.. note:: - This command is particularly helpful for getting started because it - just works. No kunitconfig needs to be present. - -For a list of all the flags supported by kunit_tool, you can run: - -.. code-block:: bash - - ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --help |
