Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Allow users to require UFFD_SECURE
Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 12:16:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191012191602.45649-7-dancol@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191012191602.45649-1-dancol@google.com>
This change adds 2 as an allowable value for
unprivileged_userfaultfd. (Previously, this sysctl could be either 0
or 1.) When unprivileged_userfaultfd is 2, users with CAP_SYS_PTRACE
may create userfaultfd with or without UFFD_SECURE, but users without
CAP_SYS_PTRACE must pass UFFD_SECURE to userfaultfd in order for the
system call to succeed, effectively forcing them to opt into
additional security checks.
