powerpc/xmon: Restrict when kernel is locked down
Xmon should be either fully or partially disabled depending on the kernel lockdown state. Put xmon into read-only mode for lockdown=integrity and prevent user entry into xmon when lockdown=confidentiality. Xmon checks the lockdown state on every attempted entry: (1) during early xmon'ing (2) when triggered via sysrq (3) when toggled via debugfs (4) when triggered via a previously enabled breakpoint The following lockdown state transitions are handled: (1) lockdown=none -> lockdown=integrity set xmon read-only mode (2) lockdown=none -> lockdown=confidentiality clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode, prevent user re-entry into xmon (3) lockdown=integrity -> lockdown=confidentiality clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode, prevent user re-entry into xmon Suggested-by: Andrew Donnellan <ajd@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christopher M.
