Pull kallsyms fix from Kees Cook: "Refactor kallsyms_show_value() users for correct cred. I'm not delighted by the timing of getting these changes to you, but it does fix a handful of kernel address exposures, and no one has screamed yet at the patches. Several users of kallsyms_show_value() were performing checks not during "open". Refactor everything needed to gain proper checks against file->f_cred for modules, kprobes, and bpf" * tag 'kallsyms_show_value-v5.8-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: selftests: kmod: Add module address visibility test bpf: Check correct cred for CAP_SYSLOG in bpf_dump_raw_ok() kprobes: Do not expose probe addresses to non-CAP_SYSLOG module: Do not expose section addresses to non-CAP_SYSLOG module: Refactor section attr into bin attribute kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
