+debugfs
+=======
+
+KUnit can be accessed from userspace via the debugfs filesystem (See more
+information about debugfs at Documentation/filesystems/debugfs.rst).
+
+If ``CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS`` is enabled, the KUnit debugfs filesystem is
+mounted at /sys/kernel/debug/kunit. You can use this filesystem to perform
+the following actions.
+
+Retrieve Test Results
+=====================
+
+You can use debugfs to retrieve KUnit test results. The test results are
+accessible from the debugfs filesystem in the following read-only file:
+
+.. code-block :: bash
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test_suite>/results
+
+The test results are printed in a KTAP document. Note this document is separate
+to the kernel log and thus, may have different test suite numbering.
+
+Run Tests After Kernel Has Booted
+=================================
+
+You can use the debugfs filesystem to trigger built-in tests to run after
+boot. To run the test suite, you can use the following command to write to
+the ``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test_suite>/run`` file:
+
+.. code-block :: bash
+
+ echo "any string" > /sys/kernel/debugfs/kunit/<test_suite>/run
+
+As a result, the test suite runs and the results are printed to the kernel
+log.
+
+However, this feature is not available with KUnit suites that use init data,
+because init data may have been discarded after the kernel boots. KUnit
+suites that use init data should be defined using the
+kunit_test_init_section_suites() macro.
+
+Also, you cannot use this feature to run tests concurrently. Instead a test
+will wait to run until other tests have completed or failed.
+
.. note ::
- If ``CONFIG_KUNIT_DEBUGFS`` is enabled, KUnit test results will
- be accessible from the ``debugfs`` filesystem (if mounted).
- They will be in ``/sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<test_suite>/results``, in
- TAP format.
+ For test authors, to use this feature, tests will need to correctly initialise
+ and/or clean up any data, so the test runs correctly a second time.

KUnit is not enabled, or if no test is running in the current task, it will do

+Managing Fake Devices and Drivers
+---------------------------------
+
+When testing drivers or code which interacts with drivers, many functions will
+require a ``struct device`` or ``struct device_driver``. In many cases, setting
+up a real device is not required to test any given function, so a fake device
+can be used instead.
+
+KUnit provides helper functions to create and manage these fake devices, which
+are internally of type ``struct kunit_device``, and are attached to a special
+``kunit_bus``. These devices support managed device resources (devres), as
+described in Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/devres.rst
+
+To create a KUnit-managed ``struct device_driver``, use ``kunit_driver_create()``,
+which will create a driver with the given name, on the ``kunit_bus``. This driver
+will automatically be destroyed when the corresponding test finishes, but can also
+be manually destroyed with ``driver_unregister()``.
+
+To create a fake device, use the ``kunit_device_register()``, which will create
+and register a device, using a new KUnit-managed driver created with ``kunit_driver_create()``.
+To provide a specific, non-KUnit-managed driver, use ``kunit_device_register_with_driver()``
+instead. Like with managed drivers, KUnit-managed fake devices are automatically
+cleaned up when the test finishes, but can be manually cleaned up early with
+``kunit_device_unregister()``.
+
+The KUnit devices should be used in preference to ``root_device_register()``, and
+instead of ``platform_device_register()`` in cases where the device is not otherwise
+a platform device.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <kunit/device.h>
+
+ static void test_my_device(struct kunit *test)
+ {
+ struct device *fake_device;
+ const char *dev_managed_string;
+
+ // Create a fake device.
+ fake_device = kunit_device_register(test, "my_device");
+ KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, fake_device)
+
+ // Pass it to functions which need a device.
+ dev_managed_string = devm_kstrdup(fake_device, "Hello, World!");
+
+ // Everything is cleaned up automatically when the test ends.
