That's precisely what is does. It's just that when there's taint other
than proprietary-module taint, it puts a "G" in that column instead of a
blank. Which is oddly inconsistent, but whatever.
--b.
const char *print_tainted(void)
{
static char buf[20];
if (tainted) {
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Tainted: %c%c%c%c%c%c",
tainted & TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE ? 'P' : 'G',
tainted & TAINT_FORCED_MODULE ? 'F' : ' ',
tainted & TAINT_UNSAFE_SMP ? 'S' : ' ',
tainted & TAINT_FORCED_RMMOD ? 'R' : ' ',
tainted & TAINT_MACHINE_CHECK ? 'M' : ' ',
tainted & TAINT_BAD_PAGE ? 'B' : ' ');
}
else
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Not tainted");
return(buf);
}
