[RFC][PATCH] Lock down kprobes

[David Howells]

Hi,

I need to lock down kprobes under secure boot conditions as part of the patch
series that can be found here:

        
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=efi-lock-down

Can you tell me that if the attached patch is sufficient to the cause?

    Lock down kprobes
    
    Disallow the creation of kprobes when the kernel is locked down.  This
    patch restricts writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events; writing
    to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled is disabled by the patch that locks
    down debugfs.
