From b1fb185f26e85f76e3ac6ce557398d78797c9684 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 15:00:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users commit 1c90308e7a77af6742a97d1021cca923b23b7f0d upstream. This patch makes pagemap readable for normal users and hides physical addresses from them. For some use-cases PFN isn't required at all.
