( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the infastructure yet to support this feature) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Cc: "V.Radhakrishnan" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- --- diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig.debug b/arch/x86/Kconfig.debug index f0cf5d99079..51c82147795 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig.debug +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig.debug @@ -5,14 +5,15 @@ config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT source "lib/Kconfig.debug" -config PROMISC_DEVMEM - bool "Allow unlimited access to /dev/mem" - default y +config STRICT_DEVMEM + bool "Filter access to /dev/mem" help If this option is left on, you allow userspace (root) access to all of memory, including kernel and userspace memory.
