[PATCH v6 3/4] kunit: Taint the kernel when KUnit tests are run

From: David Gow
Date: Fri Jul 08 2022 - 00:49:39 EST


Make KUnit trigger the new TAINT_TEST taint when any KUnit test is run.
Due to KUnit tests not being intended to run on production systems, and
potentially causing problems (or security issues like leaking kernel
addresses), the kernel's state should not be considered safe for
production use after KUnit tests are run.

This both marks KUnit modules as test modules using MODULE_INFO() and
manually taints the kernel when tests are run (which catches builtin
tests).

- Use MODULE_INFO() for KUnit modules.
- This is technically redundant, as the KUnit executor will taint the
kernel when _any_ KUnit tests are run, but may be useful if some
other tool will parse the 'test' property.
- Add {Acked,Tested,Reviewed}-by tags.
