If unittest detects a problem it will print a warning or error message to the console. Unittest also triggers warning and error messages from other kernel code as a result of intentionally bad unittest data. This has led to confusion as to whether the triggered messages are an expected result of a test or whether there is a real problem that is independent of unittest. EXPECT messages were added to unittest to report each triggered message that is expected, resulting in verbose console output. scripts/dtc/of_unittest is a new program that processes the EXPECT messages to determine whether the triggered messages occurred and also removes the excess verbosity of the EXPECT messages. More information is available from 'scripts/dtc/of_unittest_expect --help'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
