From: Al Stone on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1408#note_733728574 The problem as I understand it is that areas within /dev/mem may not actually have a current mapping to memory so the kernel can segfault, and that this can be SoC dependent; this is why dmidecode and all other such tools on aarch64 have been fixed so that there is no longer any reliance on /dev/mem at all. IIRC this was turned off in RHEL8 (and definitely well before that). My understanding could be incorrect, but that's what I recall. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
