Subject: [PATCH] Lower the ptrace permissions so that the memfd_secrect test program runs without an issue.
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2023 17:54:45 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231030-selftest-v1-1-743df68bb996@linux.dev> (raw)
---
On Ubuntu and probably other distros, ptrace permissions are tightend a
bit by default; i.e., /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_score is set to 1.
This cases memfd_secret's ptrace attach test fails with a permission
error. Set it to 0 piror to running the program.
