From 1cd0d6c3021c8d76641b37203f504634b87fbabc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2011 03:59:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] module: Enable dynamic debugging regardless of taint Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except for TAINT_CRAP. This prevents use of dynamic debugging for out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied. This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force- loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug structures. However, a administrator that forces us to load a module is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version checks. If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module could crash the system. As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use dynamic_debug.
