4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jordan Niethe <[email protected]> commit 7b62f9bd2246b7d3d086e571397c14ba52645ef1 upstream. Currently the opal log is globally readable. It is kernel policy to limit the visibility of physical addresses / kernel pointers to root. Given this and the fact the opal log may contain this information it would be better to limit the readability to root.
