[PATCH 13/27] asus-wmi: Restrict debugfs interface when the kernel is locked down

From: dhowells@redhat.com (David Howells)
Date: 2017-10-19 14:52:17
Also in: linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: asus notebooks and eeepc acpi/wmi extras drivers, the rest, x86 platform drivers · Maintainers: Corentin Chary, Luke D. Jones, Denis Benato, Linus Torvalds, Hans de Goede, Ilpo Järvinen

From: Matthew Garrett <redacted>

We have no way of validating what all of the Asus WMI methods do on a given
machine - and there's a risk that some will allow hardware state to be
manipulated in such a way that arbitrary code can be executed in the
kernel, circumventing module loading restrictions.  Prevent that if the
kernel is locked down.
