From 088ab0b4d855d68a0f0c16b72fb8e492a533aaa1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludwig Nussel Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:57:17 +0100 Subject: kernel/ksysfs.c: expose file_caps_enabled in sysfs A kernel booted with no_file_caps allows to install fscaps on a binary but doesn't actually honor the fscaps when running the binary. Userspace currently has no sane way to determine whether installing fscaps actually has any effect. Since parsing /proc/cmdline is fragile this patch exposes the current setting (1 or 0) via /sys/kernel/fscaps Signed-off-by: Ludwig Nussel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fscaps | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fscaps (limited to 'Documentation/ABI') diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fscaps b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fscaps new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..50a3033b5e15 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fscaps @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +What: /sys/kernel/fscaps +Date: February 2011 +KernelVersion: 2.6.38 +Contact: Ludwig Nussel +Description + Shows whether file system capabilities are honored + when executing a binary + -- cgit v1.2.3
