For security, only show the virtual kernel memory layout if KASLR is
disabled.

These have been entirely removed on other architectures, so let's
just do the same for ia32 and remove it unconditionally.

microblaze (arch/microblaze/mm/init.c) and PPC32 (arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c)
appear to still print it out. I can't test those, but will resubmit
x86-32 with it removed.

If this needs a v3, I'd just list the commits I mentioned for further
justification. But regardless:

Aww, why wasn't this made configurable? I found these memory map printouts
very useful for development.

It could be changed from pr_info to pr_devel.
A #define DEBUG would have to be added to emit it.

Well, from the discussion it seems the decision to cut it out has already been
made, so I guess it's too late :(.

Not really too late. I can do s/pr_info/pr_devel and resubmit.
parisc for eg actually hides this in #if 0 rather than deleting the
code.
Kees, you fine with that?

But wasn't it removed for all the other architectures already? Or are these
changes not in Linus' tree yet?

The ones mentioned in the commit message, yes, those are long gone. But
I don't see any reason why the remaining ones (there are 6 left that I
submitted patches just now for) couldn't switch to pr_devel instead.

I don't mind pr_devel(). ("#if 0" tends to lead to code-rot since it's
not subjected to syntax checking in case the names of things change.)
That said, it's really up to the arch maintainers.

If you do happen to re-send with pr_debug() instead, feel free to add
my ack to that series as well. But in any case, this one is also:

Since it already got removed for most other architectures, I don’t think it makes much sense to keep it for consistency.
I just didn’t understand why it was made configurable for debugging purposes in the first place.
Also, many distributions disable access to the kernel buffer for unprivileged users anyway.

(FYI, pr_devel() was suggested, not pr_debug() -- the former is
compile-time enabled with DEBUG and the latter can be enabled dynamically
in some cases in the kernel, so pr_debug() should not be used.)

x86/mm/init/32: Stop printing the virtual memory layout
For security reasons, don't display the kernel's virtual memory layout.
Kees Cook points out:

just do the same for ia32 and remove it unconditionally."

Given that primary users of xtensa linux kernels are developers
removing this information, and even disabling it by default doesn't
sound reasonable to me.

In most of the above (but not in this patch), "%p" was used to print
addresses, which started showing useless hashed addresses since commit
ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p").
Instead of changing them all to print usable addresses instead, it was
agreed upon to just remove them.

Same here! IMO, the kernel segment layout is useful for devs/debug purposes.
Perhaps:
a) all these printk's could be gathered into one function and invoked
only when DEBUG (or equivalent) is defined?
b) else, the s/pr_info/pr_devel approach with %pK should be good?
