Subject: [PATCH v5 01/13] taint: Introduce a new taint flag (insecure)
Date:   Fri,  1 Feb 2019 12:53:06 -0800
Message-Id: <20190201205319.15995-2-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190201205319.15995-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
References: <20190201205319.15995-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

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.
