Subject: [PATCH 3.14 57/79] pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>
commit ab676b7d6fbf4b294bf198fb27ade5b0e865c7ce upstream.
As pointed by recent post[1] on exploiting DRAM physical imperfection,
/proc/PID/pagemap exposes sensitive information which can be used to do
attacks.
This disallows anybody without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read the pagemap.

[ Eventually we might want to do anything more finegrained, but for now
this is the simple model. - Linus ]
