[v2,0/8] drm/amd/display: Introduce KUnit to Display Mode Library

Hello,

This series is version 2 of the introduction of unit testing to the
AMDPGU driver [1].

Our main goal is to bring unit testing to the AMD display driver; in
particular, we'll focus on the Display Mode Library (DML) for DCN2.0,
DMUB, and some of the DCE functions. This implementation intends to
help developers to recognize bugs before they are merged into the
mainline and also makes it possible for future code refactors of the
AMD display driver.

For the implementation of the tests, we decided to go with the Kernel
Unit Testing Framework (KUnit). KUnit makes it possible to run test
suites on kernel boot or load the tests as a module. It reports all test
case results through a TAP (Test Anything Protocol) in the kernel log.
Moreover, KUnit unifies the test structure and provides tools to
simplify the testing for developers and CI systems.

In regards to CI pipelines, we believe kunit_tool [2] provides
ease of use, but we are also working on integrating KUnit into IGT.

In this second version, we've chosen a mix of approaches to integrate
KUnit tests into amdgpu:
    1. Tests that use static functions are included through guards [3].
    2. Tests without static functions are included through a Makefile.

We understand that testing static functions is not ideal, but taking into
consideration that this driver relies heavily on static functions with
complex behavior which would benefit from unit testing, otherwise, black-box
tested through public functions with dozens of arguments and sometimes high
cyclomatic complexity.

The first seven patches represent what we intend to do for the rest of the
DML modules: systematic testing of the DML functions, especially mathematically
complicated functions. Also, it shows how simple it is to add new tests to the DML.

Among the tests, we highlight the dcn20_fpu_test, which, had it existed
then, could catch the defects introduced to dcn20_fpu.c by 8861c27a6c [4]
later fixed by 9ad5d02c2a [5].

In this series, there's also an example of how unit tests can help avoid
regressions and keep track of changes in behavior.

Applying this series on top of the amd-staging-drm-next (787df47adb1f)
and running its tests will fail the `dc_dmub_srv` test, you can verify
that with:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=x86_64 \
                --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/tests

```

This is due to a known regression introduced by commit 5da7f4134357
("drm/amd/display: fix 32 bit compilation errors in dc_dmub_srv.c")
[6], which resulted in the struct's members being zero. As an
exercise, you can revert the offending patch, run the tests again, and
the test-series will result in success.

This series depends on a couple of KUnit patches already merged into
torvalds/master, which themselves depend on older patches:

commit 61695f8c5d51 ("kunit: split resource API from test.h into new resource.h")
commit 2852ca7fba9f ("panic: Taint kernel if tests are run")
commit cfc1d277891e ("module: Move all into module/")
commit cdebea6968fa ("kunit: split resource API impl from test.c into new resource.c")
commit cae56e1740f5 ("kunit: rename print_subtest_{start,end} for clarity (s/subtest/suite)")
commit 1cdba21db2ca ("kunit: add ability to specify suite-level init and exit functions")
commit c272612cb4a2 ("kunit: Taint the kernel when KUnit tests are run")
commit 3d6e44623841 ("kunit: unify module and builtin suite definitions")
commit a02353f49162 ("kunit: bail out of test filtering logic quicker if OOM")
commit 1b11063d32d7 ("kunit: fix executor OOM error handling logic on non-UML")
commit e5857d396f35 ("kunit: flatten kunit_suite*** to kunit_suite** in .kunit_test_suites")
commit 94681e289bf5 ("kunit: executor: Fix a memory leak on failure in kunit_filter_tests")

Thanks in advance for your time taking a look and sending any feedback!
