PATCH 1/1 lib/crypto: tests: Depend on library options rather than selecting them

The convention for KUnit tests is to have the test kconfig options visible only when the code they depend on is already enabled. This way only the tests that are relevant to the particular kernel build can be enabled, either manually or via KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.

Update lib/crypto/tests/Kconfig to follow that convention, i.e. depend on the corresponding library options rather than selecting them. This fixes an issue where enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS enabled non-test code.

This does mean that it becomes more difficult to enable *all* the crypto library tests (which is what I do as a maintainer of the code), since doing so will now require enabling other options that select the libraries. Regardless, we should follow the standard KUnit convention.

Note: currently most of the crypto library options are selected by visible options in crypto/Kconfig, which can be used to enable them without too much trouble. If in the future we end up with more cases like CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519 which is selected only by WIREGUARD (thus making CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519_KUNIT_TEST effectively depend on WIREGUARD after this commit), we could consider adding a new kconfig option that enables all the library code specifically for testing.

You can make those library symbols visible if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS, like I suggested (after I sent my earlier reports to you) in [1], and like Vladimir already did in [2].

Sure, but that would help only when KUNIT_ALL_TESTS is enabled.

I think for now I'll just add a .kunitconfig file that enables everything needed to enable all the crypto libraries with KUnit tests.

Thanks -- I do think this is better, as we do run KUnit tests on pretty minimal configurations.

One suggestion would be to have a crypto/.kunitconfig file which enables all of these: you could then run the crypto tests with:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig crypto/

Cheers,
