Commit 2852ca7fba9f ("panic: Taint kernel if tests are run")
introduced a new taint type, TAINT_TEST, to signal that an
in-kernel test module has been loaded.
TAINT_TEST taint type defaults into a 'bad_taint' list for
kernel tracing and blocks the creation of trace events. This
causes a problem for CXL testing where loading the cxl_test
module makes all CXL modules out-of-tree, blocking any trace
events.
Trace events are in development for CXL at the moment and this
issue was found in test with v6.0-rc1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
