Document kernel taint flags properly

2008-10-29T22:03:49Z

This fills in the documentation for all of the current kernel taint flags, and fixes the number for TAINT_CRAP, which was incorrectly described. Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Staging: add TAINT_CRAP for all drivers/staging code

2008-10-10T22:31:05Z

We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the kernel portion of this feature, the ability for the flag to be set needs to be done in the build process and will happen in a follow-up patch.

softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameter

2007-10-17T15:42:47Z

Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings. This is useful for debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify possible softlockups earlier. This patch: 1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s (Higher value to disable false positives) 2. Changes the softlockup printk to print the cpu softlockup time [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Fix various warnings and add definition of "two"] Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] x86: add sysctl for kstack_depth_to_print

2006-12-07T01:14:11Z

Add sysctl for kstack_depth_to_print. This lets users change the amount of raw stack data printed in dump_stack() without having to reboot. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

[PATCH] document the core-dump-to-a-pipe patch

2006-10-11T18:14:22Z

The pipe-a-coredump-to-a-program feature was undocumented. *Grumble*. NB: a good enhancement to that patch would be: save all the stuff that a core file can get from the %x expansions in the environment.
