[PATCH V40 27/29] tracefs: Restrict tracefs when the kernel is locked down

Matthew Garrett matthewgarrett at google.com
Tue Aug 20 00:18:03 UTC 2019


Tracefs may release more information about the kernel than desirable, so
restrict it when the kernel is locked down in confidentiality mode by
preventing open().

(Fixed by Ben Hutchings to avoid a null dereference in
default_file_open())
