Subject: Re: [PATCH 20/24] bpf: Restrict kernel image access functions when
 the kernel is locked down

Hi David,

First, thanks for your help to send out this series.

This patch is used with hibernation signature verification. I suggest
that we can remove this patch from your series because we just lock
down the hibernation function until hibernation verification get
accepted.

On the other hand, we are trying to enhance the bpf verifier to
prevent bpf print reads specific memory addresses that have sensitive
data.

Thanks a lot!
