From the very beginning (and that beginning is # a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code # had a comment saying # # Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely. # # and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really # comfortable. # # NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to # change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a # mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping # that doesn't actually have any pages in it. # # I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the # info leak is real. # # We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have # valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the # information leak sanely. # # Cc: Kevin Easton <kevin@guarana.org> # Cc: Jiri Kosina <jikos@kernel.org> # Cc: Masatake YAMATO <yamato@redhat.com> # Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> # Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> # Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> # Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 574823bfab82d9d8fa47f422778043fbb4b4f50e # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- pseries_le_defconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR=n # yes \n \| make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- oldconfig yes: standard output: Broken pipe # make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_pseries_le_defconfig+NO_SPLPAR_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- WARNING: modpost: Found 3 section mismatch(es).
