Re: Fwd: CFI violation when reading amd_pstate/status

[Jannik Glückert]

Hi Greg,

our kernel uses the Fedora config and has a homeopathic patchset on
top of upstream - see
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/linux-patches.git/tree/?h=6.4 except
the 50** patches.
Namely we don't touch cpufreq or pm.

> Comm: cat Tainted: P

I am not using any out of tree modules, the kernel switches to
Tainted: P on the first CFI violation.

Regards
Jannik
