Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.7
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
The "System Information" part of reportbug's output doesn't currently
mention the kernel's taint state. A bunch of these flags show that
something on the system is going pretty badly, thus they're definitely
of interest to someone reading such a bug report.
The state can be read via /proc/sys/kernel/tainted which provides a decimal
integer value, with bits meaning the following:
'P', /* TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE */
'F', /* TAINT_FORCED_MODULE */
'S', /* TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC */
'R', /* TAINT_FORCED_RMMOD */
'M', /* TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK */
'B', /* TAINT_BAD_PAGE */
'U', /* TAINT_USER */
'D', /* TAINT_DIE */
'A', /* TAINT_OVERRIDDEN_ACPI_TABLE */
'W', /* TAINT_WARN */
'C', /* TAINT_CRAP */
'I', /* TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND */
'O', /* TAINT_OOT_MODULE */
'E', /* TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE */
'L', /* TAINT_SOFTLOCKUP */
'K', /* TAINT_LIVEPATCH */
Meow!
