Subject: [v3 01/12] taint: Introduce a new taint flag (insecure)
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2018 11:42:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181023184234.14025-2-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181023184234.14025-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

For testing (or root-only) purposes, the new flag will serve to tag the
kernel taint accurately.

When adding a new feature support, patches need to be incrementally
applied and tested with temporal parameters. Currently, there is no flag
for this usage.
