Subject: [PATCH] printk: introduce kptr_restrict level 3
From: William Roberts <william.c.roberts@...el.com>
Some out-of-tree modules do not use %pK and just use %p, as it's
the common C paradigm for printing pointers. Because of this,
kptr_restrict has no affect on the output and thus, no way to
contain the kernel address leak.
Introduce kptr_restrict level 3 that causes the kernel to
treat %p as if it was %pK and thus always prints zeros.
Sample Output:
kptr_restrict == 2:
p: 00000000604369f4
pK: 0000000000000000
kptr_restrict == 3:
p: 0000000000000000
pK: 0000000000000000
