Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] module: Introduce module unload taint tracking
Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is
recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded.
The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of
each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to
displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the
event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or
taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained.
The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by
default.
