From 6eec65c9e283096ce6cf4c6d6b5fb6b9450fb9ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Cline Date: Thu, 14 May 2020 10:05:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] lockdown: Allow unprivileged users to see lockdown status [ Upstream commit 60cf7c5ed5f7087c4de87a7676b8c82d96fd166c ] A number of userspace tools, such as systemtap, need a way to see the current lockdown state so they can gracefully deal with the kernel being locked down. The state is already exposed in /sys/kernel/security/lockdown, but is only readable by root. Adjust the permissions so unprivileged users can read the state.
