[redhat] New configs in arch/powerpc

Jeremy Clinerequested to merge
configs/2020-10-17/arch/powerpc into os-build

Hi,

As part of the ongoing rebase effort, the following configuration options need to be reviewed.

As a reminder, the ARK configuration flow involves moving unreviewed configuration options from the pending directory to the ark directory. In the diff below, options are removed from the pending directory and added to the ark hierarchy. The final options that need to be ACKed are the files that are being added to the ark hierarchy.

If the value for a file that is added should be changed, please reply with a better option.

CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER:

The RTAS syscall API has security issues that could be used to compromise system integrity. This option enforces restrictions on the RTAS calls and arguments passed by userspace programs to mitigate these issues.

Say Y unless you know what you are doing and the filter is causing problems for you.

Symbol: PPC_RTAS_FILTER [=y] Type : bool Defined at arch/powerpc/Kconfig:991 Prompt: Enable filtering of RTAS syscalls Depends on: PPC_RTAS [=y] Location: -> Kernel options
