In 2022, we got a great patchset from a GSoC project introducing unit
tests to the amdgpu display. Since version 3, this effort was put on
hold, and now I'm attempting to revive it. I'll add part of the original
cover letter at the bottom of this cover letter, but you can read all
the original messages at:

https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20220912155919.39877-1-mairacanal@riseup.net/

Changes since V3:
- Rebase and adjust conflicts.
- Rewrite part of the dc_dmub_srv_test to represent a real scenario that
  simulates some parameter configuration for using 4k144 and 4k240
  displays.

Changes since v4:
- Rebase.
- Change the folder organization to better align with the display code.
- Fix the wrong CONFIG used in the FPU code.
- Drop unstable tests.

Thanks
Siqueira

Original cover letter

Hello,

This series is version 3 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 [3].

Since the 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 [4].
    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 [5]
later fixed by 9ad5d02c2a [6].

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