Maybe you want to check the mode argument here if it is a
PTRACE_ATTACH which may translate to read/writes ? PTRACE_READ are
normally for reads only. Or also which creds were used if this was a
direct syscall or a filesystem call through procfs.
I'm bringing this, since you may want to make some room for landlock
ptrace events and what others may want to do with it. Also I'm
planning to send another v2 RFC for procfs separate instances [1], the
aim is to give LSMs a security_ptrace_access_check hook path when
dealing with /proc/<pids>/ [2] . Right now LSMs don't really have a
security path there, and the implementation does not guarantee that.
With this Yama ptrace scope or other LSMs may take advantage of it and
check the 'PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED' mode for filesystem accesses.
That's why I think it would be better if the default landlock ptrace
semantics are not that wide.
Thanks!
