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. This can be done in two ways: - Moving the module to the tools/testing directory. All modules under this directory will taint the kernel. - Adding the 'test' module property with: MODULE_INFO(test, "Y") 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. Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This still only covers a subset of selftest modules, but combined with the modpost check for the tools/testing path, it should catch many future tests. Others can be moved, adapted to use this framework, or have MODULE_INFO(test, "Y") added. (Alas, I don't have the time to hunt down all of the tests which don't do this at the moment.
