docs: Revamp tainted-kernels.rst to make it more comprehensible

2019-01-08T23:33:47Z

Add a section about decoding /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, create a more understandable intro and a hopefully explain better the tainted flags in bugs, oops or panics messages. Only thing missing then is a table that quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more detail, so add that as well. That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt, but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now: ./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint, Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt During review of v1 (see above) a number of existing issues with the text were raised, like outdated usages as well as incomplete or missing descriptions. Address most of those as well. Signed-off-by: Thorsten Leemhuis [jc: tightened up changelog] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

admin-guide: Fix list formatting in tained-kernels.html

2018-02-19T00:28:39Z

Without this patch, the points 1-9 in the list are rendered as an HTML blockquote containing a list, causing them to be indented further than the rest of the list. While at it, also fix the quotation marks around G and P. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

2016-11-07T23:50:28Z

The tainted kernels info is not directly related to the oops tracing. So, let's move it to a separate file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
