<id>71338aa7d050c86d8765cd36e46be514fb0ebbce</id>
<content type='text'>
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

<title>net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s</title>

<id>3fa21e07e6acefa31f974d57fba2b6920a7ebd1a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files)
all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the
last closing brace of void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (&lt;&gt;) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

<content type='text'>
Add __percpu sparse annotations to net.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

The macro and type tricks around snmp stats make things a bit
interesting.  DEFINE/DECLARE_SNMP_STAT() macros mark the target field
as __percpu and SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS() macro is updated accordingly.  All
snmp_mib_*() users which used to cast the argument to (void **) are
updated to cast it to (void __percpu **).

Recently I posted a patch to add some informational items to
/proc/net/sctp/assocs.  All the information is correct, but because
of how the seqfile show operation is laid out, some of the formatting
is backwards.  This patch corrects that formatting, so that the new
information appears at the end of each line, rather than in the middle.
