Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-kunit-5.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest
Pull KUnit updates from Shuah Khan:
"Several fixes and a new feature to support failure from dynamic
analysis tools such as UBSAN and fake ops for testing.
- a fake ops struct for testing a "free" function to complain if it
was called with an invalid argument, or caught a double-free. Most
return void and have no normal means of signalling failure (e.g.
super_operations, iommu_ops, etc.)"
* tag 'linux-kselftest-kunit-5.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest:
Documentation: kunit: add tips for using current->kunit_test
kunit: fix -Wunused-function warning for __kunit_fail_current_test
kunit: support failure from dynamic analysis tools
kunit: tool: make --kunitconfig accept dirs, add lib/kunit fragment
kunit: make KUNIT_EXPECT_STREQ() quote values, don't print literals
kunit: Match parenthesis alignment to improve code readability
