Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] module: Introduce module unload taint tracking
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2022 10:08:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220425090841.3958494-3-atomlin@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220425090841.3958494-1-atomlin@redhat.com>

Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is
recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded.

The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of
each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to
displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the
event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or
taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained.

The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by
default.
