[PATCH 5.10 48/48] bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by default

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 03 2022 - 09:32:35 EST


From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 08389d888287c3823f80b0216766b71e17f0aba5 upstream.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.

This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.

We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2.

Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.
