Documentation: dev-tools: Add KTAP specification

Documentation: dev-tools: Add Testing Overview

2021-04-15T20:53:02+00:00

The kernel now has a number of testing and debugging tools, and we've seen a bit of confusion about what the differences between them are. Add a basic documentation outlining the testing tools, when to use each, and how they interact. This is a pretty quick overview rather than the idealised "kernel testing guide" that'd probably be optimal, but given the number of times questions like "When do you use KUnit and when do you use Kselftest?" are being asked, it seemed worth at least having something. Hopefully this can form the basis for more detailed documentation later.

2021-03-07T00:36:51+00:00

Add documentation for kernel script checkpatch.pl. This documentation is also parsed by checkpatch to enable a verbose mode. The checkpatch message types are grouped by usage. Under each group the types are described briefly. 34 of such types are documented.
