[PATCH 3.16 266/410] arm64: traps: Don't print stack or raw PC/LR values in backtraces
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Jun 07 2018 - 10:41:32 EST
3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>
commit a25ffd3a6302a67814280274d8f1aa4ae2ea4b59 upstream.
Printing raw pointer values in backtraces has potential security
implications and are of questionable value anyway.
This patch follows x86's lead and removes the "Exception stack:" dump
from kernel backtraces, as well as converting PC/LR values to symbols
such as "sysrq_handle_crash+0x20/0x30".
Tested-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>
[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Deleted code in dump_mem() and dump_backtrace_entry() is a bit different
- Leave dump_backtrace() unchanged, since it doesn't use dump_mem()]
