[PATCH 08/19] tcp: authopt: Disable via sysctl by default

From: Leonard Crestez
Date: Tue Sep 21 2021 - 12:17:36 EST


This is mainly intended to protect against local privilege escalations
through a rarely used feature so it is deliberately not namespaced.

Enforcement is only at the setsockopt level, this should be enough to
ensure that the tcp_authopt_needed static key never turns on.

No effort is made to handle disabling when the feature is already in
use.
