[PATCH 3.16 061/254] efi: Move some sysfs files to be read-only by root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit af97a77bc01ce49a466f9d4c0125479e2e2230b6 upstream.

Thanks to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script, it was found that
some EFI values should not be readable by non-root users.

So make them root-only, and to do that, add a __ATTR_RO_MODE() macro to
make this easier, and use it in other places at the same time.
