Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] procfs/tasks: introduce per-task procfs hidepid= field
From: Djalal Harouni <tixxdz@...il.com>
Hi,
I'm sending this series again based on Lafcadio's previous patches.
I have also fixed some issues and tested the code.
This adds a new per-task hidepid= flag that is honored by procfs when
presenting /proc to the user, in addition to the existing hidepid= mount
option.
One suggested change to add 'ns_capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)||no_new_privs' test
before setting the hidepid was not included in this series, however I
can add it. This change was not incorporated since it may be good for
some setuid or even file capabilities programs to not access /proc, yes this
may influence setuid programs but I am not sure if this is really a
problem in this case. As stated I can add it if requested. Thanks!
v4 changes:
Patch 0001 procfs: use an enum for possible hidepid values
* Was already acked and proposed to be added to -mm branch.
Patch 0002 procfs/tasks: add a simple per-task procfs hidepid= field
* Document HidePid in Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt
* Switch to max() as suggested by Kees Cook.
* Fix compiler warnings
* Check all prctl() arguments and fail if unused ones are set.
* Make PR_GET_HIDEPID return the task hidpid value as a result
of prctl() syscall.
