Subject: Re: [PATCH] leaking_addresses: add support for 32-bit kernel
addresses
Hi,
Applies upon the previous one in this thread.
Found and fixed some minor issues with light testing on a 32-bit x86.
(I realize this isn't an ideal description, forgive me!).
Have also emitted a 'noisy' warning on PAGE_OFFSET fallback to 0xc00000000.
