+Suppressing warning backtraces
+------------------------------
+
+Some unit tests trigger warning backtraces either intentionally or as side
+effect. Such backtraces are normally undesirable since they distract from
+the actual test and may result in the impression that there is a problem.
+
+Such backtraces can be suppressed. To suppress a backtrace in some_function(),
+use the following code.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	static void some_test(struct kunit *test)
+	{
+		DEFINE_SUPPRESSED_WARNING(some_function);
+
+		START_SUPPRESSED_WARNING(some_function);
+		trigger_backtrace();
+		END_SUPPRESSED_WARNING(some_function);
+	}
+
+SUPPRESSED_WARNING_COUNT() returns the number of suppressed backtraces. If the
+suppressed backtrace was triggered on purpose, this can be used to check if
+the backtrace was actually triggered.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, SUPPRESSED_WARNING_COUNT(some_function), 1);
