Changelog extract
* Print 'Module loaded, with warnings' for people who cannot tell the
difference between warnings and errors.
* Tell the user where to find more information about tainted modules.
* Add configure option TAINT_URL, default http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s1-18.
* Workaround for ppc64 symbols that contain _R in the name. Guy Streeter.
* Add alias char-major-200 vxspec. Tigran Aivazian.
* Add "look in syslog or dmesg output" to hints for failing modules.
Suggested by Georg Acher.
* Environment variable UNAME_MACHINE overides the value of uname machine.
Note to vendors who supply Linux systems that contain non-GPL modules.
I _strongly_ suggest that you configure and ship modutils with a URL
that points to your support policy, e.g.
TAINT_URL='http://www.some_vendor.com/linux/support/\#taint' configure
see the INSTALL file. Then your users will contact you with
questions instead of bothering the linux-kernel list and being told
to go away. Your users will be happier and l-k readers will be
happier.
Note to ppc32/64 and hppa32/64 users.
I have added environment variable UNAME_MACHINE to try to overcome
the problems of building 64 bit modules in a 32 bit environment and
vice versa. When set, this variable overrides the value of uname -m
in modutils. In particular, if you are building 64 bit modules on a
32 bit version of the same platform, doing
export UNAME_MACHINE=ppc64 (or hppa64)
should let modules_install handle the modules. It has had limited
testing, let me know if it does not work.
UNAME_MACHINE only works for 32/64 bit versions of the build machine,
and only when modutils was configured with --enable-combined-XXX.
