[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 047/274] lockdown: Allow unprivileged users to see lockdown status

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-06-08 23:07:51
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: lockdown security module, security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Nicolas Bouchinet, Xiu Jianfeng, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

From: Jeremy Cline <redacted>

[ 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.

Fixes: 000d388ed3bb ("security: Add a static lockdown policy LSM")
