From 262e6ae7081df304fc625cf368d5c2cbba2bb991 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 23:33:33 +0200 Subject: modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously imported gplonly symbols. Add a anti-circumvention devices so people don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.
