[PATCH v6 0/5] LSM: Support ptrace sidechannel access checks

[Casey Schaufler]

V6: Based on Tim Chen's "[Patch v4 00/18] Provide process property
    based options to enable Spectre v2 userspace-userspace protection*"
    patch set.
v5: Revamped to match Jiri Kosina <jkosina at suse.cz>
    Harden spectrev2 userspace-userspace protection v7
    Fixed locking issues in the LSM code.
    Dropped the new LSM hook and use a ptrace hook instead.
v4: select namespace checks if user namespaces are enabled
    and credential checks are request.
v3: get_task_cred wasn't a good choice due to refcounts.
    Use lower level protection instead
v2: SELinux access policy corrected.
    Use real_cred instead of cred.

This patchset provide a mechanism by which a security module
can advise the system about potential side-channel vulnerabilities.
The existing security modules have been updated to avoid locking
issues in the face of PTRACE_MODE_SCHED. A new security
module is provided to make determinations regarding task attributes
including namespaces.
