Title:
CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM should be enabled
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
We should enable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM to restrict userspace access
of active io-memory ranges.
This could impact kernel debugability. In that case, you may reboot with
iomem=relaxed on the kernel commandline to override this setting.
This config option is recommended by the Kernel Self Protection Project[1]
and a 2019 study performed by Capsule 8 shows that it is enabled in many other
major distro kernels[2].
