Pull leaking-addresses updates from Tobin Harding: "This set represents improvements to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script. The major improvement is that with this set applied the script actually runs in a reasonable amount of time (less than a minute on a standard stock Ubuntu user desktop). Also, we have a second maintainer now and a tree hosted on kernel.org We do a few code clean ups. We fix the command help output. Handling of the vsyscall address range is fixed to check the whole range instead of just the start/end addresses. We add support for 5 page table levels (suggested on LKML). We use a system command to get the machine architecture instead of using Perl. Calling this command for every regex comparison is what previously choked the script, caching the result of this call gave the major speed improvement. We add support for scanning 32-bit kernels using the user/kernel memory split. Path skipping code refactored and simplified (meaning easier script configuration). We remove version numbering. We add a variable name to improve readability of a regex and finally we check filenames for leaking addresses. Currently script scans /proc/PID for all PID. With this set applied we only scan for PID==1. It was observed that on an idle system files under /proc/PID are predominantly the same for all processes. Also it was noted that the script does not scan _all_ the kernel since it only scans active processes. Scanning only for PID==1 makes explicit the inherent flaw in the script that the scan is only partial and also speeds things up" * tag 'leaks-4.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tobin/leaks: MAINTAINERS: Update LEAKING_ADDRESSES leaking_addresses: check if file name contains address leaking_addresses: explicitly name variable used in regex leaking_addresses: remove version number leaking_addresses: skip '/proc/1/syscall' leaking_addresses: skip all /proc/PID except /proc/1 leaking_addresses: cache architecture name leaking_addresses: simplify path skipping leaking_addresses: do not parse binary files leaking_addresses: add 32-bit support leaking_addresses: add is_arch() wrapper subroutine leaking_addresses: use system command to get arch leaking_addresses: add support for 5 page table levels leaking_addresses: add support for kernel config file leaking_addresses: add range check for vsyscall memory leaking_addresses: indent dependant options leaking_addresses: remove command examples leaking_addresses: remove mention of kptr_restrict leaking_addresses: fix typo function not called
