| |
3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
commit ab676b7d6fbf4b294bf198fb27ade5b0e865c7ce upstream.
As pointed by recent post[1] on exploiting DRAM physical imperfection, /proc/PID/pagemap exposes sensitive information which can be used to do attacks.
This disallows anybody without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read the pagemap.

[ Eventually we might want to do anything more finegrained, but for now this is the simple model. - Linus ]
