Subject: [PATCH 4/5] KVM: use %px to print token identifier
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 10:40:57 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511826058-2563-5-git-send-email-me@tobin.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1511826058-2563-1-git-send-email-me@tobin.cc>
Currently token address is printed using %p. This exposes the address of
the token in dmesg and potentially leaks sensitive information to
userspace. In this instance the address is being used as a unique
identifier for the token, we can use the newly defined printk specifier
%px for exactly this purpose.
Use the new %px specifier to print a unique identifier for the token.
