Hi,

is it necessary that "debugfs" is mounted by default?

perf needs/wants it, as does other things that we need for suportability (usb device list, etc.)

It exposes too much of the kernel readable (and so potentially exploitable) to the non-root user.

What is exploitable in debugfs, and "too readable"? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
