Subject: [PATCH v6] printk: hash addresses printed with %p
Currently there are many places in the kernel where addresses are being
printed using an unadorned %p. Kernel pointers should be printed using
%pK allowing some control via the kptr_restrict sysctl. Exposing addresses
gives attackers sensitive information about the kernel layout in memory.
We can reduce the attack surface by hashing all addresses printed with
%p. This will of course break some users, forcing code printing needed
addresses to be updated.
For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as
follows (thanks to Joe Perches).

Add function ptr_to_id() to map an address to a 32 bit unique identifier.
Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@...in.cc>
---
V6:
- Use __early_initcall() to fill the SipHash key.
- Use static keys to guard hashing before the key is available.
V5:
- Remove spin lock.
- Add Jason A. Donenfeld to CC list by request.
- Add Theodore Ts'o to CC list due to comment on previous version.
V4:
- Remove changes to siphash.{ch}
- Do word size check, and return value cast, directly in ptr_to_id().
- Use add_ready_random_callback() to guard call to get_random_bytes()
V3:
- Use atomic_xchg() to guard setting [random] key.
- Remove erroneous white space change.
V2:
- Use SipHash to do the hashing.
The discussion related to this patch has been fragmented. There are
three threads associated with this patch. Email threads by subject:
[PATCH] printk: hash addresses printed with %p
[PATCH 0/3] add %pX specifier
[kernel-hardening] [RFC V2 0/6] add more kernel pointer filter options
