Running vdsotest leaves many times the following log: [ 79.629901] vdsotest[396]: User access of kernel address (ffffffff) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) A pointer set to (-1) is likely a programming error similar to a NULL pointer and is not worth logging as an exploit attempt. Don't log user accesses to 0xffffffff.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
