From: David Howells Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 15:11:36 +0000 Subject: [23/29] x86/mmiotrace: Lock down the testmmiotrace module Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit?id=20af3be0bcf6a78e3632770561fba6531dd3b444 The testmmiotrace module shouldn't be permitted when the kernel is locked down as it can be used to arbitrarily read and write MMIO space.
