Currently, in order to compare memory blocks in KUnit, the KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ or
KUNIT_EXPECT_FALSE macros are used in conjunction with the memcmp function,
such as:
  KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, memcmp(foo, bar, size), 0);

Although this usage produces correct results for the test cases, if the
expectation fails the error message is not very helpful, indicating only the
return of the memcmp function.

Therefore, create a new set of macros KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and
KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ that compare memory blocks until a determined size. In
case of expectation failure, those macros print the hex dump of the memory
blocks, making it easier to debug test failures for memory blocks.

Other than the style changes, this v3 brings alignment to the bytes, making
it easier to identify the faulty bytes. So, on the previous version, the
output from a failure would be:
[14:27:42] # xrgb8888_to_rgb565_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_format_helper_test.c:248
[14:27:42] Expected dst == result->expected, but
[14:27:42] dst ==
[14:27:42] 33 0a <60> 12 00 a8 00 00 <00> 00 8e 6b <33> 0a 60 12
[14:27:42] 00 00 <00> 00 00 a8 <8e> 6b 33 0a 00 00 <00> 00
[14:27:42] result->expected ==
[14:27:42] 33 0a <61> 12 00 a8 00 00 <01> 00 8e 6b <31> 0a 60 12
[14:27:42] 00 00 <01> 00 00 a8 <81> 6b 33 0a 00 00 <01> 00

Now, with the alignment, the output is:
[14:27:42] # xrgb8888_to_rgb565_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at drivers/gpu/drm/tests/drm_format_helper_test.c:248
[14:27:42] Expected dst == result->expected, but
[14:27:42] dst ==
[14:27:42] 33  0a <60> 12  00  a8  00  00 <00> 00  8e  6b <33> 0a  60  12
[14:27:42] 00  00 <00> 00  00  a8 <8e> 6b  33  0a  00  00 <00> 00
[14:27:42] result->expected ==
[14:27:42] 33  0a <61> 12  00  a8  00  00 <01> 00  8e  6b <31> 0a  60  12
[14:27:42] 00  00 <01> 00  00  a8 <81> 6b  33  0a  00  00 <01> 00

Moreover, on the raw output, there were some indentation problems. Those
problems were solved with the use of KUNIT_SUBSUBTEST_INDENT.

The first patch of the series introduces the KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and
KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ. The second patch adds an example of memory block
expectations on the kunit-example-test.c. And the last patch replaces the
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ for KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ on the existing occurrences.

These patches look pretty good to me overall, but I was unable to
apply v3 to test -- it looks like the mail client has wrapped some
lines or something...

davidgow@slicestar:~/linux-kselftest$ git am
./v3_20220803_mairacanal_introduce_kunit_expect_memeq_and_kunit_expect_memneq_macros.mbx
Applying: kunit: Introduce KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ macros
error: corrupt patch at line 24
Patch failed at 0001 kunit: Introduce KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMEQ and
KUNIT_EXPECT_MEMNEQ macros

Checkpatch also picks up an issue:
ERROR: patch seems to be corrupt (line wrapped?)
#62: FILE: include/kunit/assert.h:255:
                                   const struct va_format *message,

v2 applied clearnly, so it seems to be specific to v3.

In general, I like the patches, though. While I think there are a few
places it'd be slightly suboptimale if it's being used to compare more
structured data, such as the prospect of comparing padding between
elements, as well as the output formatting not being ideal. It's
perfect for the cases where memcmp() otherwise would be used, though.

Cheers,

I'll check this issue and submit a v4. Thank you!

Do you any take on how to make the output formatting more ideal?

I don't actually think we need to change any of the formatting in this
patch, I'm just noting that usinng MEMEQ()/MEMNEQ() might not be the
best choice for comparing, e.g., structs (and that comparing their
members individually might be better there).
_Maybe_ that's something that could be mentioned in the documentation,
but I wouldn't change the code at all.
