[PATCH 1/4] panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flags

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Apr 03 2010 - 14:35:53 EST


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().

Changes since the previous version:
- Added note to Documentation/oops-tracing.txt
- Changed the commit message to distinguish taint numbers from taint
flags
- Removed 'must' from last sentence of commit message; this patch
converts all mainline architectures

Ben.
