[PATCH 11/12] asus-wmi: Restrict debugfs interface when trusted_kernel is true

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Fri Mar 13 2015 - 17:56:54 EST


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. Prevent that if trusted_kernel is true.
