[PATCH 01/36] usercopy: Remove pointer from overflow report
From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-09 20:55:30
Also in:
linux-arch, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem:
kernel hardening (not covered by other areas), memory management, the rest · Maintainers:
Kees Cook, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds
Using %p was already mostly useless in the usercopy overflow reports,
so this removes it entirely to avoid confusion now that %p-hashing
is enabled.
Fixes: ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
