The KUnit test validates the correct operation of the ringbuffer.
A separate dedicated ringbuffer is used so that the global printk
ringbuffer is not touched.

+ * This KUnit tests the data integrity of the lockless printk_ringbuffer.
+ * From multiple CPUs it writes messages of varying length and content while
+ * a reader validates the correctness of the messages.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT: The more CPUs you can use for this KUnit, the better!
+ *
+ * The test works by starting "num_online_cpus() - 1" writer threads, each
+ * pinned to their own CPU. Each writer thread loops, writing data of varying
+ * length into a printk_ringbuffer as fast as possible. The data content is
+ * an embedded data struct followed by string content repeating the byte:
+ *
+ *      'A' + CPUID
+ *
+ * The reader is running on the remaining online CPU, or if there is only one
+ * CPU on the same as the writer.
+ * It ensures that the embedded struct content is consistent with the string
+ * and that the string * is terminated and is composed of the same repeating
+ * byte as its first byte.
+ *
+ * Because the threads are running in such tight loops, they will call
+ * cond_resched() from time to time so the system stays functional.
+ *
+ * If the reader encounters an error, the test is aborted and some
+ * information about the error is reported.
+ * The runtime of the test can be configured with the runtime_ms module 
parameter.
+ *
+ * Note that the test is performed on a separate printk_ringbuffer instance
+ * and not the instance used by printk().
