Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] ptrace: Set PF_SUPERPRIV when checking capability
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2020 13:38:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201030123849.770769-2-mic@digikod.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201030123849.770769-1-mic@digikod.net>

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@linux.microsoft.com>

Commit 69f594a38967 ("ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing
/proc/pid/stat") replaced the use of ns_capable() with
has_ns_capability{,_noaudit}() which doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV.

Commit 6b3ad6649a4c ("ptrace: reintroduce usage of subjective credentials in
ptrace_has_cap()") replaced has_ns_capability{,_noaudit}() with
security_capable(), which doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV neither.

Since commit 98f368e9e263 ("kernel: Add noaudit variant of ns_capable()"), a
new ns_capable_noaudit() helper is available.  Let's use it!

As a result, the signature of ptrace_has_cap() is restored to its original one.
