The patch titled
Subject: kfence: report sensitive information based on no_hash_pointers
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kfence-report-sensitive-information-based-on-no_hash_pointers.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kfence: report sensitive information based on no_hash_pointers
We cannot rely on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to decide if we're running a "debug
kernel" where we can safely show potentially sensitive information in the
kernel log.
Instead, simply rely on the newly introduced "no_hash_pointers" to print
unhashed kernel pointers, as well as decide if our reports can include
other potentially sensitive information such as registers and corrupted
bytes.
