[RFC v1 0/6] kunit: Add test attributes API

[Rae Moar]

Hello everyone,

This is an RFC patch series to propose the addition of a test attributes
framework to KUnit.

There has been interest in filtering out "slow" KUnit tests. Most notably,
a new config, CONFIG_MEMCPY_SLOW_KUNIT_TEST, has been added to exclude
particularly slow memcpy tests
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230118200653.give.574-kees@xxxxxxxxxx/).

This proposed attributes framework would be used to save and access test
associated data, including whether a test is slow. These attributes would
be reportable (via KTAP and command line output) and some will be
filterable.

This framework is designed to allow for the addition of other attributes in
the future. These attributes could include whether the test is flaky,
associated test files, etc.

Note that this could intersect with the discussions on how to format
test-associated data in KTAP v2 that I am also involved in
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230420205734.1288498-1-rmoar@xxxxxxxxxx/).

If the overall idea seems good, I'll make sure to add tests/documentation,
and more patches marking existing tests as slow to the patch series.

Thanks!
Rae
