From 1b772a147a183c09462f0d23e041b077f158fa0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Rosenberg Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:40:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lib/vsprintf.c: kptr_restrict: fix pK-error in SysRq show-all-timers(Q) commit 3715c5309f6d175c3053672b73fd4f73be16fd07 upstream. When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like this: [23153.208033] .base: pK-error with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works: [23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540 The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though.
