From e3c6bc95668b9b9fc1e74f221551dfa622ea9061 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Tobin C. Harding" Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:33:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: warn for use of %px Usage of the new %px specifier potentially leaks sensitive information. Printing kernel addresses exposes the kernel layout in memory, this is potentially exploitable. We have tools in the kernel to help us do the right thing. We can have checkpatch warn developers of potential dangers of using %px. Have checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px.
