Implements automated testing for all 38 checkpatch autofix functions with CI/CD integration per project requirements.

Changes

• test_fixes.py: 32 unit tests covering 30 active fix functions

  • Independent tests using temporary files, no kernel source dependency
  • Integration tests for multi-fix scenarios
  • 8 functions imported but untested (marked PROBLEMATIC in engine.py or rarely triggered)

• .github/workflows/test.yml: GitHub Actions workflow

  • Triggers on push/PR to main/master/develop
  • Python 3.12 on Ubuntu, minimal permissions (contents: read)

• TESTING.md: Step-by-step guide for adding tests when new fixes are implemented

  • Template pattern for test creation
  • Best practices and troubleshooting

• Infrastructure: .gitignore, updated README with testing sections

Example Test Pattern

def test_fix_printk_info(self):
    """Test fix_printk_info converts printk(KERN_INFO) to pr_info."""
    content = 'printk(KERN_INFO "test message\\n");\n'
    test_file = self.create_test_file(content)
    
    result = fix_printk_info(test_file, 1)
    self.assertTrue(result)
    
    fixed_content = self.read_file(test_file)
    self.assertIn("pr_info", fixed_content)
    self.assertNotIn("printk", fixed_content)

All 32 tests pass. CodeQL security scan passed.
