Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kernel: set taint flag 'L' at any kind of lockup
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 16:21:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <157503370645.8187.6335564487789994134.stgit@buzz> (raw)

Any lockup or stall notifies about unexpected lack of progress.
It's better to know about them for further problem investigations.

Right now only softlockup has own taint flag. Let's generalize it.

This patch renames TAINT_SOFTLOCKUP into TAINT_LOCKUP at sets it for:
- softlockup
- hardlockup
- RCU stalls
- stuck in workqueues
- detected task hung
