Linus Torvalds ce69fb3b39 Refactor kallsyms_show_value() users for correct cred
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.

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"

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.
