9df072c73b Documentation: kunit: Fix cross-referencing warnings
The Architecture chapter of the KUnit documentation tried to include
copies of the kernel-doc for a couple of things, despite these already
existing in the API documentation. This lead to some warnings:

architecture:31: ./include/kunit/test.h:3: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at dev-tools/kunit/api/test:66.
Declaration is '.. c:struct:: kunit_case'.
architecture:163: ./include/kunit/test.h:1217: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at dev-tools/kunit/api/test:1217.
Declaration is '.. c:macro:: KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM'.
architecture.rst:3: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at dev-tools/kunit/api/test:66.
Declaration is '.. c:struct:: kunit_case'.
architecture.rst:1217: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at dev-tools/kunit/api/test:1217.
Declaration is '.. c:macro:: KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM'.

Get rid of these, and cleanup the mentions of the struct and macro in
question so that sphinx generates a link to the existing copy of the
documentation in the api/test document.

8479d7b5be kasan: documentation updates
Update KASAN documentation:

 - Bump Clang version requirement for HW_TAGS as ARM64_MTE depends on
   AS_HAS_LSE_ATOMICS as of commit 2decad92f4 ("arm64: mte: Ensure
   TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT is set atomically"), which requires Clang 12.

 - Add description of the new kasan.vmalloc command line flag.

 - Mention that SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS modes now support vmalloc tagging.

 - Explicitly say that the "Shadow memory" section is only applicable to
   software KASAN modes.

 - Mention that shadow-based KASAN_VMALLOC is supported on arm64.

737b6a10ac kfence: allow use of a deferrable timer
Allow the use of a deferrable timer, which does not force CPU wake-ups
when the system is idle.  A consequence is that the sample interval
becomes very unpredictable, to the point that it is not guaranteed that
the KFENCE KUnit test still passes.

Nevertheless, on power-constrained systems this may be preferable, so
let's give the user the option should they accept the above trade-off.

e765c747d1 Documentation: kgdb: properly capitalize the MAGIC_SYSRQ config
Most readers are probably going to figure out that the config is actually
all upper-case letters, as all Kconfig symbols are this way.

Properly capitalizing makes the script ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py
happy, which otherwise would report this as a reference to a non-existing
Kconfig symbol.

So, use the right capitalization for the MAGIC_SYSRQ config in the kgdb
documentation.

4c2911f1e1 kunit: tool: reconfigure when the used kunitconfig changes
Problem: currently, if you remove something from your kunitconfig,
kunit.py will not regenerate the .config file.
The same thing happens if you did --kunitconfig_add=CONFIG_KASAN=y [1]
and then ran again without it. Your new run will still have KASAN.

The reason is that kunit.py won't regenerate the .config file if it's a
superset of the kunitconfig. This speeds it up a bit for iterating.

This patch adds an additional check that forces kunit.py to regenerate
the .config file if the current kunitconfig doesn't match the previous
one.

What this means:
* deleting entries from .kunitconfig works as one would expect
* dropping  a --kunitconfig_add also triggers a rebuild
* you can still edit .config directly to turn on new options

We implement this by creating a `last_used_kunitconfig` file in the
build directory (so .kunit, by default) after we generate the .config.
When comparing the kconfigs, we compare python sets, so duplicates and
permutations don't trip us up.

The majority of this patch is adding unit tests for the existing logic
and for the new case where `last_used_kunitconfig` differs.

4f612ed3f7 kfence: default to dynamic branch instead of static keys mode
We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static
key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds.  This is due
to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to
hundreds of CPUs (cores).  If done too frequently, this can adversely
affect tail latencies of various workloads.

One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds,
while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still
exists and could still increase tail latencies.

As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at
lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance;
however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result
in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended.

Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals
and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly
better.  Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects
of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind
spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores).

Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately,
that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and
topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new
workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks.

Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a
large variety of different workloads and system architectures.  As such,
the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is
only recommended after careful evaluation.

For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates
exactly
2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path:

 | ...
 | cmpl   $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip)  # ffffffff82d560d0 <kfence_allocation_gate>
 | je     ffffffff812d6003      <kmem_cache_alloc+0x243>
 | ...

which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be
well predicted by most CPUs.

a127b154a8 kunit: tool: allow filtering test cases via glob
Commit 1d71307a6f ("kunit: add unit test for filtering suites by
names") introduced the ability to filter which suites we run via glob.

This change extends it so we can also filter individual test cases
inside of suites as well.

This is quite useful when, e.g.
* trying to run just the tests cases you've just added or are working on
* trying to debug issues with test hermeticity

Examples:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit '*exec*.parse*'
...
============================================================
======== [PASSED] kunit_executor_test ========
[PASSED] parse_filter_test
============================================================
Testing complete. 1 tests run. 0 failed. 0 crashed.

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit '*.no_matching_tests'
...
[ERROR] no tests run!

2d27e58514 kasan: Extend KASAN mode kernel parameter
Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide an asymmetric mode
of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be
identified with the asymmetric tagging mode of execution. In particular,
when such a mode is present, the CPU triggers a fault on a tag mismatch
during a load operation and asynchronously updates a register when a tag
mismatch is detected during a store operation.

Extend the KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter to
support asymmetric mode.
