The patch titled
Subject: taint: consolidate documentation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
taint-consolidate-documentation.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: taint: consolidate documentation
This consolidates the taint bit documentation into a single place with
both numeric and letter values. Additionally adds the missing TAINT_AUX
documentation.
