And yes, if you check from an ADB shell, you can still access the
mentioned file even on walleye:
walleye:/ $ ls -lZ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats
-r--r--r-- 1 root root u:object_r:debugfs_tracing:s0 0 1970-01-01
01:00 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats
walleye:/ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats
0xffffff9c60ba04de : "Rescheduling interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba04f6 : "Function call interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba050f : "CPU stop interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba0523 : "Timer broadcast interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba053e : "IRQ work interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba0552 : "CPU wakeup interrupts"
0xffffff9c60ba0568 : "CPU backtrace"
0xffffff9c619a6600 : "rcu_sched"
0xffffff9c619a6a40 : "rcu_bh"
0xffffff9c619a6ef8 : "rcu_preempt"
But that's only because you're coming from "shell" context, and
"shell" context has explicitly been granted access to files labeled as
debugfs_tracing:
# systrace support - allow atrace to run
allow shell debugfs_tracing_debug:dir r_dir_perms;
allow shell debugfs_tracing:dir r_dir_perms;
allow shell debugfs_tracing:file rw_file_perms;
allow shell debugfs_trace_marker:file getattr;
allow shell atrace_exec:file rx_file_perms;
Normal apps can't access it, AFAICS.
If you think that the contents of this particular file should not be
exposed, because you think that even someone with ADB access or in
traceur_app context shouldn't be able to see those pointers, then you
may wish to make a change to how you're labeling tracefs files.
