From: Joshua Wise Background: This patch is a follow-on to "Info dump on Oops or panic()" [1]. On some architectures, the kernel printed some information on the running kernel, but not on all architectures. The information printed was generally the version and build number, but it was not located in a consistant place, and some architectures did not print it at all. Description: This patch uses the already-existing die_chain to print utsname information on Oops. This patch also removes the architecture-specific utsname printers. To avoid crashing the system further (and hence not printing the Oops) in the case where the system is so hopelessly smashed that utsname might be destroyed, we vsprintf the utsname data into a static buffer first, and then just print that on crash. Testing: I wrote a module that does a *(int*)0 = 0; and observed that I got my utsname data printed. Potential impact: This adds another line to the Oops output, causing the first few lines to potentially scroll off the screen. This also adds a few more pointer dereferences in the Oops path, because it adds to the die_chain notifier chain, reducing the likelihood that the Oops will be printed if there is very bad memory corruption. Patch: This patch is against git 0471448f4d017470995d8a2272dc8c06dbed3b77.
