Subject: [PATCH 18/27] bpf: Restrict kernel image access functions when the
 kernel is locked down

From: Chun-Yi Lee <jlee@...e.com>

There are some bpf functions can be used to read kernel memory:
bpf_probe_read, bpf_probe_write_user and bpf_trace_printk.  These allow
private keys in kernel memory (e.g. the hibernation image signing key) to
be read by an eBPF program.  Prohibit those functions when the kernel is
locked down.
