Subject: [PATCH -mm] mm, pagemap: Hide swap entry for unprivileged users

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

In ab676b7d6fbf ("pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to
non-privileged userspace"), the /proc/PID/pagemap is restricted to be
readable only by CAP_SYS_ADMIN to address some security issue.  In
1c90308e7a77 ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged
users"), the restriction is relieved to make /proc/PID/pagemap
readable, but hide the physical addresses for non-privileged users.
But the swap entries are readable for non-privileged users too.  This
has some security issues.  For example, for page under migrating, the
swap entry has physical address information.  So, in this patch, the
swap entries are hided for non-privileged users too.

Fixes: 1c90308e7a77 ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users")
