From 91f9d330cc14932084c37751997213cb0e7ea882 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 06:22:23 +0930 Subject: module: make it possible to have unsafe, tainting module params Add flags field to struct kernel_params, and add the first flag: unsafe parameter. Modifying a kernel parameter with the unsafe flag set, either via the kernel command line or sysfs, will issue a warning and taint the kernel.

These module parameters are for debugging and testing only, and should never be changed from their platform specific default values by the users. We do not provide support for people enabling all the experimental features. Make this clear by tainting the kernel if the parameters are set.
