Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] x86, perf: Only allow rdpmc if a perf_event is mapped
We currently allow any process to use rdpmc. This significantly
weakens the protection offered by PR_TSC_DISABLED, and it could be
helpful to users attempting to exploit timing attacks.
Since we can't enable access to individual counters, use a very
coarse heuristic to limit access to rdpmc: allow access only when
a perf_event is mmapped. This protects seccomp sandboxes.
There is plenty of room to further tighen these restrictions. For
example, this allows rdpmc for any x86_pmu event, but it's only
useful for self-monitoring tasks.
As a side effect, cap_user_rdpmc will now be false for AMD uncore
events. This isn't a real regression, since .event_idx is disabled
for these events anyway for the time being. Whenever that gets
re-added, the cap_user_rdpmc code can be adjusted or refactored
accordingly.
