[PATCH 1/2] sysctl: expand use of proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin
From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Jan 22 2016 - 17:39:55 EST
Several sysctls expect a state where the highest value (in extra2) is
locked once set for that boot. Yama does this, and kptr_restrict should
be doing it. This extracts Yama's logic and adds it to the existing
proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin, taking care to avoid the simple boolean
states (which do not get locked). Since Yama wants to be checking a
different capability, we build wrappers for both cases (CAP_SYS_ADMIN
and CAP_SYS_PTRACE).

When kptr_restrict is set to (2), kernel pointers printed using

+%pK will be replaced with 0's regardless of privileges, and the value
