[PATCH] module/taint: Automatically increase the buffer size for new taint flags

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Wed Sep 07 2016 - 09:15:01 EST


The commit 66cc69e34e86a231 ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints:
add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to
potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the
size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules().

We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag
for livepatching, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx

Let's convert the taint flags into enum and handle the buffer size
almost automatically.

It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by
module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is
not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.
