[PATCH v3] powerpc/kernel/sysfs: Disable writing to PURR in guest mode
From: Madhavan Srinivasan <hidden>
Date: 2013-10-01 19:04:25
Subsystem:
linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers:
Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds
powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c exports PURR with write permission.
This may be valid for kernel in phyp mode. But writing to
the file in guest mode causes crash.
