[PATCH 4.9 20/62] arm64: mm: dont print out page table entries on EL0 faults

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

 



From: Kristina Martsenko <kristina.martsenko@xxxxxxx>

commit bf396c09c2447a787d02af34cf167e953f85fa42 upstream.

When we take a fault from EL0 that can't be handled, we print out the
page table entries associated with the faulting address. This allows
userspace to print out any current page table entries, including kernel
(TTBR1) entries. Exposing kernel mappings like this could pose a
security risk, so don't print out page table information on EL0 faults.
(But still print it out for EL1 faults.) This also follows the same
behaviour as x86, printing out page table entries on kernel mode faults
but not user mode faults.
