From 8b856a0942a1b4d832966985fcdf1a455eb6ab8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Donnellan Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 15:11:19 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/configs: Disable SCOM_DEBUGFS in powernv_defconfig SCOM_DEBUGFS is really not needed for anything other than low-level hardware debugging. mpe: It also introduces a large and poorly documented/understood attack surface. Although the interface is only available to root, the kernel still aspires to restrict root to accessing hardware through well defined interfaces, which this is not. opal-prd uses its own interface (/dev/prd) for SCOM access, so it doesn't need SCOM_DEBUGFS. At some point in the future we'll introduce a debug config fragment where this can go instead.
