Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] proc: Fix timerslack_ns CAP_SYS_NICE check when adjusting self
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 16:01:10 -0700
Message-Id: <1471906870-28624-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.9.1
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds
when p == current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't.

Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed
privledges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted
a task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns
(which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method).

This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking
the CAP_SYS_NICE value.

This patch applies on top of my two previous patches currently in -mm
