Subject: module: panic: taint the kernel when selftest modules load
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2022 12:48:45 +0800
Taint the kernel with TAINT_TEST whenever a test module loads, by adding a
new "TEST" module property, and setting it for all modules in the
tools/testing directory. This property can also be set manually, for
tests which live outside the tools/testing directory with:
MODULE_INFO(test, "Y");
