[kernel-hardening] [RFC V2 3/6] lib: vsprintf: physical address kernel pointer filtering options

From: Tobin C. Harding
Date: Sat Sep 30 2017 - 20:07:35 EST


Add the kptr_restrict setting of 4 which results in %pa and
%p[rR] values being cleansed.

Address types printed with %pa are replaced by zeros. Resources printed
with %p[rR] have the starting address replaced by zeros, resource size
is still shown.
