From c5f4546593e9911800f0926c1090959b58bc5c93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Jennings Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:58:18 -0600 Subject: livepatch: kernel: add TAINT_LIVEPATCH This adds a new taint flag to indicate when the kernel or a kernel module has been live patched. This will provide a clean indication in bug reports that live patching was used. Additionally, if the crash occurs in a live patched function, the live patch module will appear beside the patched function in the backtrace.
