It was easy enough to open-code security_capable() in the end. I've
tested this version which works fine for me here. If that's OK for you
I'll emit an -rc2 with the last two patches.

Thanks,

Subject: 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.

Seehttp://lkml.kernel.org/r/1425935472-17949-1-git-send-email-kirill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Add the same check in the places where we look up a PFN
- Add struct pagemapread * parameters where necessary
- Open-code file_ns_capable()
- Delete pagemap_open() entirely, as it would always return 0]

[wt: adjusted context, no pagemap_hugetlb_range() in 2.6.32, open-coded
security_capable(). Tested OK. ]

At first sight this is confusing... but correct. It really returns zero
for success, unlike to new file_ns_capable which returns bool true.

The rest looks good too.
