Subject: [PATCH] alloc_tag: Tighten file permissions on /proc/allocinfo
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2024 13:08:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240425200844.work.184-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

The /proc/allocinfo file exposes a tremendous about of information about
kernel build details, memory allocations (obviously), and potentially
even image layout (due to ordering). As this is intended to be consumed
by system owners (like /proc/slabinfo), use the same file permissions as
there: 0400.
