Subject: panic: taint kernel if tests are run
Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2022 12:09:56 +0800
Most in-kernel tests (such as KUnit tests) are not supposed to run on
production systems: they may do deliberately illegal things to trigger
errors, and have security implications (for example, KUnit assertions will
often deliberately leak kernel addresses).
Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run. This
will be printed as 'N' (originally for kuNit, as every other sensible
letter was taken.)
This should discourage people from running these tests on production
systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run accidentally
(by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)
