Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition)
The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to
know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
in the taint state.
This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
These archs are:
1. s390
2. superh
3. avr32
4. parisc
The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
in this email to alert them to the situation.
The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
new flag.
