[PATCH 1/2] lockdep,rtmutex,bug: Show taint flags on error

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Oct 27 2011 - 23:38:02 EST


Currently lock debugging is disabled when the kernel is tainted, with
a few exceptions. It is already recognised that this can be useful
for staging modules (TAINT_CRAP), but that also goes for out-of-tree
modules (TAINT_OOT_MODULE) so long as core kernel developers don't
have to spend time debugging them. Also, there are several reasons
for tainting that are unlikely to introduce false locking bug reports
(e.g. TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND).

Instead of disabling lock debugging, show the taint flags in all
lockdep and rtmutex-debug error messages.
