[Crash-utility] Re: [PATCH] Fix wrong detection of "[LIVEPATCH]" on old kernels

From: Kazuhito Hagio <k-hagio-ab(a)nec.com&gt; The crash-utility wrongly prints "[LIVEPATCH]" occasionally on old kernels: KERNEL: vmlinux [LIVEPATCH] DUMPFILE: dump.d31 [PARTIAL DUMP] ... RELEASE: 2.6.24 In is_livepatch(), show_kernel_tains() does not set any value to buf on kernels that have the "tainted" symbol, so it's printed when the uninitialized buf has "K" by chance. On very old kernels, but this issue affects makedumpfile tests.
