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. pariscThe 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.Signed-off-by: Nur Hussein

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.Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov

Kdump has been merged and supported on several architectures. It is better

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!
