From 0ee1dd9f5e7eae4e55f95935b72d4beecb03de9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:51:13 -0500 Subject: x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack values: ... [registers] Stack: ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0 ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: ... This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses. Linus says: "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having used them in the last ten+ years. Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above harder." This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the 'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.
