From b0934990125a094965547ccd9961cabc3e67f47d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Niethe Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2019 14:02:29 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Make opal log only readable by root commit 7b62f9bd2246b7d3d086e571397c14ba52645ef1 upstream. Currently the opal log is globally readable. It is kernel policy to limit the visibility of physical addresses / kernel pointers to root. Given this and the fact the opal log may contain this information it would be better to limit the readability to root.
