Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] selftests/landlock: Test LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 18:03:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717220320.1030123-3-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717220320.1030123-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>
Check that a successful landlock_restrict_self(2) call with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS sets no_new_privs without a prior
prctl(2) call nor CAP_SYS_ADMIN, that a failed call leaves the attribute
unchanged, and that LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC extends it to sibling
threads. Also check that this flag requires a ruleset, and update the
restrict_self_checks_ordering EPERM checks since this flag is now
checked before the flags validity.
Update the ABI version and last-flag checks accordingly.
