[PATCH] /proc/modules: honor kptr_restrict even without CONFIG_KALLSYMS

From: Aleksander Mazur
Date: Sun Jun 05 2022 - 16:44:01 EST


Commit e4a8ca3baa55 fixed building without CONFIG_KALLSYMS by providing
dummy kallsyms_show_value(). Unfortunately -- due to hard-coded "false"
being returned -- access to addresses in /proc/modules became permanently
disabled.

My proposal is to change this unconditional "false" to !kptr_restrict.
This re-enables addresses in /proc/modules even without CONFIG_KALLSYSMS
unless restricted by means of sysctl (kernel.kptr_restrict).

Fixes: e4a8ca3baa55 ("/proc/module: fix building without kallsyms")
