From: Vitaly Chikunov <vt@altlinux.org> To: devel-kernel@lists.altlinux.org Subject: [d-kernel] [PATCH] UBUNTU: SAUCE: security, perf: Allow further restriction of perf_event_open Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2022 03:31:00 +0300 Message-ID: <20220602003100.524482-1-vt@altlinux.org> (raw) From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/11/587 The GRKERNSEC_PERF_HARDEN feature extracted from grsecurity. Adds the option to disable perf_event_open() entirely for unprivileged users. This standalone version doesn't include making the variable read-only (or renaming it). When kernel.perf_event_open is set to 3 (or greater), disallow all access to performance events by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Add a Kconfig symbol CONFIG_SECURITY_PERF_EVENTS_RESTRICT that makes this value the default. This is based on a similar feature in grsecurity (CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_PERF_HARDEN). This version doesn't include making the variable read-only. It also allows enabling further restriction at run-time regardless of whether the default is changed.
