Xmon should be either fully or partially disabled depending on the
kernel lockdown state.

Put xmon into read-only mode for lockdown=integrity and completely
disable xmon when lockdown=confidentiality. Since this can occur
dynamically, there may be pre-existing, active breakpoints in xmon when
transitioning into read-only mode. These breakpoints will still trigger,
so allow them to be listed, but not cleared or altered, using xmon.

Changes since v4:
 - Move lockdown state checks into xmon_core
 - Allow clearing of breakpoints in xmon read-only mode
 - Test simple scenarios (combinations of xmon and lockdown cmdline
   options, setting breakpoints and changing lockdown state, etc) in
   QEMU and on an actual POWER8 VM
 - Rebase onto security/next-lockdown
   b602614a81078bf29c82b2671bb96a63488f68d6

Changes since v3:
 - Allow active breakpoints to be shown/listed in read-only mode

Changes since v2:
 - Rebased onto v36 of https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11049461/
   (based on: f632a8170a6b667ee4e3f552087588f0fe13c4bb)
 - Do not clear existing breakpoints when transitioning from
   lockdown=none to lockdown=integrity
 - Remove line continuation and dangling quote (confuses checkpatch.pl)
   from the xmon command help/usage string

Read-only mode should not prevent listing and clearing any active
breakpoints.

Xmon should be either fully or partially disabled depending on the
kernel lockdown state.

Put xmon into read-only mode for lockdown=integrity and prevent user
entry into xmon when lockdown=confidentiality. Xmon checks the lockdown
state on every attempted entry:

 (1) during early xmon'ing

 (2) when triggered via sysrq

 (3) when toggled via debugfs

 (4) when triggered via a previously enabled breakpoint

The following lockdown state transitions are handled:

 (1) lockdown=none -> lockdown=integrity
     set xmon read-only mode

 (2) lockdown=none -> lockdown=confidentiality
     clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode,
     prevent user re-entry into xmon

 (3) lockdown=integrity -> lockdown=confidentiality
     clear all breakpoints, set xmon read-only mode,
     prevent user re-entry into xmon

Hi Chris,

I tested this and it works for me:

It took me a while to figure out what this line does: as I understand
it, the 'b' command can also be used to install a breakpoint (as well as
bi/bd). If we are in ro mode or if the input after 'b' doesn't scan as a
hex string, print the list of breakpoints instead. Anyway, I'm now
happy with it, so:

I've been kicking the tyres of this, and it seems to work well:

I have one small nit: if I enter confidentiality mode and then try to
enter xmon, I get 32 messages about clearing the breakpoints each time I
try to enter xmon:

root@dja-guest:~# echo confidentiality > /sys/kernel/security/lockdown 
root@dja-guest:~# echo x >/proc/sysrq-trigger 
[  489.585400] sysrq: Entering xmon
xmon: Disabled due to kernel lockdown
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
xmon: All breakpoints cleared
...

Investigating, I see that this is because my vm has 32 vcpus, and I'm
getting one per CPU.

Looking at the call sites, there's only one other caller, so I think you
might be better served with this:

Ugh, that's annoying. I tested this on a vm w/ 2 vcpus but should have
considered the case of more vcpus :(
