A number of test features need to do pretty complicated string printing
where it may not be possible to rely on a single preallocated string
with parameters.

So provide a library for constructing the string as you go similar to
C++'s std::string.

Hrm, what's the potential for such thing actually being eventually
generically useful for printk folks, I wonder? Petr?

Are you saying you think this is applicable for other things? Or are
you saying that you are afraid that somebody might try to use this
elsewhere?

In the former case, this doesn't belong here. In the latter case, it
explicitly depends on KUnit, so it is only available when running
tests.

printk() is a bit tricky:

   + It should work in any context. Any additional lock adds risk of a
     deadlock. Especially the NMI and scheduler contexts are problematic.
     There are problems with any other code that might be called
     from console drivers and calls printk() under a lock.

   + It should work also when the system is out of memory. Especially
     atomic context is problematic because we could not wait for
     memory reclaim or swap.

   + We also do to the best effort to get the message out on the
     console. It is important when the system is about to die.
     Any extra buffering layer might cause delay and avoid seeing the
     message.

From this point of views, this API is not generally usable with printk().

Now, the question is how many of the above fits also for unit testing.
At least, you might need to be careful when allocating memory in
atomic context.

BTW: There are more existing printk APIs: Well, I admit the they are
not easily reusable in unit testing:

   + printk() is old, crappy code, complicated with all the
     cornercases and consoles.

   + include/linux/seq_buf.h is simple buffering. It is used primary
     for sysfs output. It might be usable if you add support for
     loglevel and use big enough buffer. I quess that you should
     flush the buffer regularly anyway.

   + trace_printk() uses lockless per-CPU buffers. It currently does not
     support loglevels. But it might be pretty interesting choice as well.


I do not say that you have to use one of the existing API. But you
might consider them if you encouter any problems and maintaining
your variant gets complicated.

Best Regards,
Petr

Yeah, that makes sense. I wouldn't really expect this to work well in
those cases.

True, but this is only supposed to be used for constructing
expectation failure messages which should only happen from a
non-atomic context.

Alright, I will take a look.
