For security reasons, don't display the kernel's virtual memory layout. Kees Cook points out: "These have been entirely removed on other architectures, so let's just do the same for ia32 and remove it unconditionally."071929dbdd("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")1c31d4e96b("ARM: 8820/1: mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")31833332f7("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")fd8d0ca256("parisc: Hide virtual kernel memory layout")adb1fe9ae2("mm/page_alloc: Remove kernel address exposure in free_reserved_area()") Signed-off-by: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho@tycho.ws> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200305150152.831697-1-nivedita@alum.mit.edu
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
