    [PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panic · 2bc2d61a

    When listing loaded modules during an oops or panic, also list each
    module's Tainted flags if non-zero (P: Proprietary or F: Forced load only).
    
    If a module is did not taint the kernel, it is just listed like
    	usbcore
    but if it did taint the kernel, it is listed like
    	wizmodem(PF)
    
    Example:
    [ 3260.121718] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP:
    [ 3260.121729]  [<ffffffff8804c099>] :dump_test:proc_dump_test+0x99/0xc8
    [ 3260.121742] PGD fe8d067 PUD 264a6067 PMD 0
    [ 3260.121748] Oops: 0002 [1] SMP
    [ 3260.121753] CPU 1
    [ 3260.121756] Modules linked in: dump_test(P) snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq snd_seq_device ide_cd generic ohci1394 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm snd_timer snd ieee1394 snd_page_alloc piix ide_core arcmsr aic79xx scsi_transport_spi usblp
    [ 3260.121785] Pid: 5556, comm: bash Tainted: P      2.6.18-git10 #1
    
    [Alternatively, I can look into listing tainted flags with 'lsmod',
    but that won't help in oopsen/panics so much.]
