问题描述
运行 cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted 打印当前内核污点值(以 10 为基数)。我的理解是，这个值是一个位域，其中每一位都表示不存在或存在特定类型的污点。您可以使用提取位
python3 -c 'from pprint import pprint; pprint(list(zip(range(50), reversed(bin(int(open("/proc/sys/kernel/tainted").read()))[2:]))))'
我搜索了文档，但我所看到的仅标识了位 0 到 10 的含义。例如，http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt 说：
tainted:
Non-zero if the kernel has been tainted. Numeric values, which can be
ORed together. The letters are seen in "Tainted" line of Oops reports.
1 (P): A module with a non-GPL license has been loaded, this
includes modules with no license.
Set by modutils >= 2.4.9 and module-init-tools.
2 (F): A module was force loaded by insmod -f.
Set by modutils >= 2.4.9 and module-init-tools.
4 (S): Unsafe SMP processors: SMP with CPUs not designed for SMP.
8 (R): A module was forcibly unloaded from the system by rmmod -f.
16 (M): A hardware machine check error occurred on the system.
32 (B): A bad page was discovered on the system.
64 (U): The user has asked that the system be marked "tainted". This
could be because they are running software that directly modifies
the hardware, or for other reasons.
128 (D): The system has died.
256 (A): The ACPI DSDT has been overridden with one supplied by the user
instead of using the one provided by the hardware.
512 (W): A kernel warning has occurred.
1024 (C): A module from drivers/staging was loaded.
2048 (I): The system is working around a severe firmware bug.
4096 (O): An out-of-tree module has been loaded.
8192 (E): An unsigned module has been loaded in a kernel supporting module
signature.
16384 (L): A soft lockup has previously occurred on the system.
32768 (K): The kernel has been live patched.
65536 (X): Auxiliary taint, defined and used by for distros.
131072 (T): The kernel was built with the struct randomization plugin.
我还尝试通过安装 linux-doc 包并打开 zless /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/sysctl/kernel.txt.gz 查看 Ubuntu 内核的文档，但仍然只列出最多 1024 个。
就我而言，我在 Precise 上运行默认的 PAE 内核 (3.2.0-36-generic-pae)。我还看到第 12 位已设置。
关于受污染位在 Ubuntu 内核上的含义的完整文档在哪里？
最佳方案
查看 panic.c :\n

* 'S' - SMP with CPUs not designed for SMP.
* 'R' - User forced a module unload.
* 'M' - System experienced a machine check exception.
* 'B' - System has hit bad_page.
* 'U' - Userspace-defined naughtiness.
* 'D' - Kernel has oopsed before
* 'A' - ACPI table overridden.
* 'W' - Taint on warning.
* 'C' - modules from drivers/staging are loaded.
