Ah, it's the virt_addr file 12 times, I just ran it on my laptop: /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/7/virt_addr: 0xfffffffeea6ea000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/5/virt_addr: 0xfffffffeee88b000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/3/virt_addr: 0xfffffffefea00000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/11/virt_addr: 0xfffffffed9c00000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/1/virt_addr: 0xfffffffefee00000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/8/virt_addr: 0xfffffffedba4e000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/6/virt_addr: 0xfffffffeee2de000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/4/virt_addr: 0xfffffffeeea00000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/2/virt_addr: 0xfffffffefec00000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/10/virt_addr: 0xfffffffed9c60000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/0/virt_addr: 0xfffffffeff000000 /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/9/virt_addr: 0xfffffffedb9c9000 So changing it to use __ATTR() should fix this remaning leakage up. That is if we even really need to export these values at all. What does userspace do with them? Shouldn't they just be in debugfs instead? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
