Subject: module: clarify the force-loading taint message.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c6e665c8f0c18ab3686117905765b5139efd6ebd;p=linux-beck.git

module: clarify the force-loading taint message.

Impact: Message cleanup

Two of three callers of try_to_force_load() are not because of a
missing version, so change the messages:

Old:
	<modname>: no version for "magic" found: kernel tainted.
New:
	<modname>: bad vermagic: kernel tainted.

Old:
	<modname>: no version for "nocrc" found: kernel tainted.
New:
	<modname>: no versions for exported symbols: kernel tainted.

Old:
	<modname>: no version for "<symname>" found: kernel tainted.
New:
	<modname>: <symname>: kernel tainted.
