Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.5 483/542] powerpc/mm: Don't log user reads to 0xffffffff
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 10:47:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200214154854.6746-483-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200214154854.6746-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s•fr>
[ Upstream commit 0f9aee0cb9da7db7d96f63cfa2dc5e4f1bffeb87 ]
Running vdsotest leaves many times the following log:
[ 79.629901] vdsotest[396]: User access of kernel address (ffffffff) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
A pointer set to (-1) is likely a programming error similar to
a NULL pointer and is not worth logging as an exploit attempt.
Don't log user accesses to 0xffffffff.
