kernel/panic.c:
/** * print_tainted - return a string to represent the kernel taint state. * * 'P' - Proprietary module has been loaded. * 'F' - Module has been forcibly loaded. * 'S' - SMP with CPUs not designed for SMP. * 'R' - User forced a module unload. * 'M' - Machine had a machine check experience. * 'B' - System has hit bad_page. * * The string is overwritten by the next call to print_taint(). */
