Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-kunit-5.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest
Pull KUnit updates from Shuah Khan:
"This consists of several fixes and an important feature to discourage
running KUnit tests on production systems. Running tests on a
production system could leave the system in a bad state.
Summary:
- Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been
run.
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)
- Several documentation and tool enhancements and fixes"
