[PATCH v3 3/3] selftest: Taint kernel when test module loaded

From: David Gow
Date: Fri May 13 2022 - 04:32:56 EST


Make any kselftest test module (using the kselftest_module framework)
taint the kernel with TAINT_TEST on module load.

Note that several selftests use kernel modules which are not based on
the kselftest_module framework, and so will not automatically taint the
kernel. These modules will have to be manually modified if they should
taint the kernel this way.

Similarly, selftests which do not load modules into the kernel generally
should not taint the kernel (or possibly should only do so on failure),
as it's assumed that testing from user-space should be safe. Regardless,
they can write to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted if required.
