[ Upstream commit79c901c935] For development and testing purposes, the i915.force_probe module parameter and DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE kconfig option allow probing of devices that aren't supported by the driver. The i915.force_probe module parameter is "unsafe" and setting it taints the kernel. However, using the kconfig option does not. Always taint the kernel when force probing a device that is not supported. v2: Drop "depends on EXPERT" to avoid build breakage (kernel test robot) Fixes:7ef5ef5cde("drm/i915: add force_probe module parameter to replace alpha_support") Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@gmail.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230504103508.1818540-1-jani.nikula@intel.com (cherry picked from commit3312bb4ad0) Signed-off-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
