[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.3 02/22] bpf: Print a warning only if writing to unprivileged_bpf_disabled.

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Jul 09 2023 - 11:15:09 EST


From: Kui-Feng Lee <thinker.li@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fedf99200ab086c42a572fca1d7266b06cdc3e3f ]

Only print the warning message if you are writing to
"/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled".

The kernel may print an annoying warning when you read
"/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled" saying

WARNING: Unprivileged eBPF is enabled with eIBRS on, data leaks possible
via Spectre v2 BHB attacks!

However, this message is only meaningful when the feature is
disabled or enabled.
