  • 2449b8ba0   module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree ... Browse Code »

    Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code
    any good. We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this
    should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very
    little review.

  • b2be05273   panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flags ... Browse Code »

    WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
    are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the
    kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
    add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
    as argument.

    Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
    of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
    instead of __WARN().

  • 95b570c9c   Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition) ... Browse Code »

    The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
    whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to
    know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
    in the taint state.

    This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
    These archs are:
    1. s390
    2. superh
    3. avr32
    4. parisc

    The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
    in this email to alert them to the situation.

    The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
    new flag.

  • bcdcd8e72   Report that kernel is tainted if there was an OOPS ... Browse Code »

    If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as
    tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the
    tainted kernel. This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the
    calltraces.

    Add info that the Code: bytes line contains or (wxyz) in some
    architecture oops reports and what that means.

    Add a script by Andi Kleen that reads the Code: line from an Oops report
    file and generates assembly code from the hex bytes.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
