That # makes *any advice hint* to reach into the remote process. # # This patch removes the mm ownership check. With it, it will lose the # ability that local process could give *any* advice hint with vector # interface for some reason (e.g., performance). Since there is no # concrete example in upstream yet, it would be better to remove the # abiliity at this moment and need to review when such new advice comes # up. # # Fixes: ecb8ac8b1f14 ("mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API") # Reported-by: Jann Horn # Suggested-by: Jann Horn # Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 a68a0262abdaa251e12c53715f48e698a18ef402 # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powerpc-allnoconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- allnoconfig # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powerpc-allnoconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powerpc-allnoconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_powerpc-allnoconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_powerpc-allnoconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:00:23.062392
