Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: Check for YAMA ptrace_scope configuraiton before modifying it
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:07:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610-selftest-mm-enable-yama-v1-1-0097b6713116@kernel.org> (raw)
When running the memfd_secret test run_vmtests.sh unconditionally tries
to confgiure the YAMA LSM's ptrace_scope configuration, leading to an error
if YAMA is not in the running kernel:
# ./run_vmtests.sh: line 432: /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope: No such file or directory
# # ----------------------
# # running ./memfd_secret
# # ----------------------
Check that this file is present before trying to write to it.
The indentation here is a bit odd, and it doesn't seem great that we
configure but don't restore ptrace_scope.
