From a94549dd87f5ea4ca50fee493df08a2dc6256b53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 17:17:58 -0700 Subject: lockdown: Lock down tracing and perf kprobes when in confidentiality mode Disallow the creation of perf and ftrace kprobes when the kernel is locked down in confidentiality mode by preventing their registration. This prevents kprobes from being used to access kernel memory to steal crypto data, but continues to allow the use of kprobes from signed modules.
