[v2] [CVE-2015-8944] [Trusty/Vivid/Xenial] [PATCH 0/1] /proc/iomem: only expose physical resource addresses to privileged users

[Brad Figg]

CVE-2015-8944

In commit c4004b02f8e5b ("x86: remove the kernel code/data/bss resources
from /proc/iomem") I was hoping to remove the phyiscal kernel address
data from /proc/iomem entirely, but that had to be reverted because some
system programs actually use it.

This limits all the detailed resource information to properly
credentialed users instead.
