8eea4e74 - taint: Add TAINT_FWCTL

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:26:32 +0000

taint: Add TAINT_FWCTLRequesting a fwctl scope of access that includes mutating device debugdata will cause the kernel to be tainted. Changing the device operationthrough things in the debug scope may cause the device to malfunction inundefined ways. This should be reflected in the TAINT flags to help anydebuggers understand that something has been done.Link: https://patch.msgid.link/r/4-v5-642aa0c94070+4447f-fwctl_jgg@nvidia.comReviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron Reviewed-by: Dave Jiang Reviewed-by: Shannon Nelson Tested-by: Dave Jiang Tested-by: Shannon Nelson Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe List of files: /linux-6.15/tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint

547f574f - docs: Update documentation to reflect what TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC means

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 15:32:43 +0000

docs: Update documentation to reflect what TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC meansHere's a patch updating the meaning of TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC afterBorislav introduced changes in a7e1f67ed29f and upcoming patches in tip.TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC now means a bit more what it implies as theflag isn't set just because of a CPU misconfiguration or mismatch.Historically it was for SMP kernel oops on an officially SMP incapableprocessor but now it also covers CPUs whose MSRs have been incorrectlypoked at from userspace, drivers being used on non supportedarchitectures, broken firmware, mismatched CPUs, ...Update documentation and script to reflect that.Signed-off-by: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201202153244.709752-1-me@mathieu.digitalSigned-off-by: Jonathan Corbet List of files: /linux-6.15/tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:40:06 +0000

tools: add a kernel-chktaint to tools/debuggingAdd a script to the tools/ directory that shows if or why the runningkernel was tainted. The script was mostly written by Randy Dunlap; Ienhanced the script a bit. There does not appear to be a good home forthis script. so create tools/debugging for tools of this nature.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis [ jc: fixed conflicts, rewrote changelog ]Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet List of files: /linux-6.15/tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint
