Stable backport request - perf/core: Fix unconditional security_locked_down() call

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

please consider backporting commit 08ef1af4de5f ("perf/core: Fix
unconditional security_locked_down() call") to stable kernels, as
without it SELinux requires an extraneous permission for
perf_event_open(2) calls with PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR unset.

The range of target kernel versions is implied by the Fixes: tag.

Thanks,
