[PATCH 1/3] Revert "proc/wchan: use printk format instead of lookup_symbol_name()"

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-24 06:23:44
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-hardening, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), proc filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

This reverts commit 152c432b128cb043fc107e8f211195fe94b2159c.

When a kernel address couldn't be symbolized for /proc/$pid/wchan, it
would leak the raw value, a potential information exposure. This is a
regression compared to the safer pre-v5.12 behavior.
