panic: Taint kernel if tests are run
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.) Acked-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Brendan Higgins <brendanhiggins@google.com> Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
