If you have a kernel that supports signed modules, and you modify a module, recompile it, apply it, since it is no longer signed, then it sounds like we just tainted it. Worse yet, we just disabled any tracepoints on that module, which means it is even harder to debug that module (if that's the reason you recompiled it in the first place). -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
