[Just after sending, I noticed an error in the text for those errors. I've amended and am resending]
Hi David, Rusty,
Linux 3.7 added signed modules. As a consequence, init_module() acquired some new possible error returns. I've put together the text below to describe the new errors. Does the text look okay?
Thanks,
Michael
.TP .BR EBADMSG " (since Linux 3.7)" Module signature is misformatted. .TP .BR ENOKEY " (since Linux 3.7)" .\" commit 48ba2462ace6072741fd8d0058207d630ce93bf1 .\" commit 1d0059f3a468825b5fc5405c636a2f6e02707ffa .\" commit 106a4ee258d14818467829bf0e12aeae14c16cd7 Module signature is invalid or the kernel does not have a key for this module. This error is returned only if the kernel was configured with .BR CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE ; if the kernel was not configured with this option, then an invalid or usigned module simply taints the kernel.
