Use the dedicated native analyzer targets instead of regression wrappers
that return success after tool failures and summarize filtered output.
Remove their suffix switches and the analyzer-only IBM VIO option.
Update the regression caller and kernel-option parser together; the
maintained kernel list and compilation matrix are unchanged. Keep legacy
Checkpatch until its own integration series.
Give the upcoming analyzer drivers one source-selection policy for full,
working-tree diff and explicit-file checks. Include product C sources and
headers, including KUnit, and keep both lexical and resolved paths within
the allowed directories.
Select only the newer QLogic SCST target directory. Exclude the legacy
QLogic tree, the upstream part of the newer driver, the two conftest trees
and generated .mod.c files. Document these input exclusions separately
from diagnostic filtering, which this helper does not perform.
Add temporary-repository fixtures and a make lint-test entry point. Keep
the existing checkpatch and kernel regression consumers unchanged until
their replacement drivers are introduced.
Move patch generation, specialization, regression, kernel selection and
module signing helpers together, with their shared shell libraries. Update
component Makefiles, CI, nightly jobs, packaging metadata, documentation
and KUnit tooling references alongside the move.
Adjust repository-root and source-inventory lookups for the deeper path.
Resolve rhel-rpm-functions relative to kernel-functions through
BASH_SOURCE, since it is also sourced by the QLogic extraction helpers.
Keep the regression runner behavior and the nightly kernel matrix intact,
including the existing checkpatch, sparse and smatch switches and policy.
Keep local validation commands in CONTRIBUTING so developers and agents
follow the same checks. Link to them from AGENTS instead of maintaining
separate instructions, and distinguish static checks from builds and tests.
Add concise README navigation and contributor links to the KUnit and
Ginkgo guides without duplicating their commands and configuration
reference.
Integrate optional native KUnit suites with out-of-tree SCST modules.
A single CONFIG_SCST_KUNIT_TEST switch includes all test objects of
each owner. Declare each suite name and label once and discover source
registrations for kunit-list without a build or loaded modules.
Preserve ordinary builds without KUnit.
Start with a fixed-wire LUN regression. Centralize private visibility
and task-scoped static-stub switches, and define retained-fixture
reporting for asynchronous tests. Use current native KUnit APIs
without compatibility shims. Keep optional execution messages behind
CONFIG_SCST_KUNIT_LOG while leaving failure diagnostics unconditional.
Add Makefile/Kbuild regression checks and document the shared switch.
Keep compatibility builds free of KUnit, including inherited test
options and allmodconfig. Generate ordinary in-tree SCST patches with
private declarations but without test suites or KUnit build options.
Check this boundary and preserve kernels without an unwinder option.
Document SCST additions to the Linux kernel coding and commit style,
including a prefix registry and optional sign-off. Configure Conform for
kernel-style subjects and list applicable pre-handoff checks in AGENTS.md.
Use the existing checkpatch and ShellCheck entry points. Document direct
Conform invocations for commit ranges and message files in linked
worktrees, without introducing another checking script.
Keep the existing CI workflows and checkpatch exclusions unchanged.
