From 456c32e3c4316654f95f9d49c12cbecfb77d5660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" mhiramat@kernel.org Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 10:15:56 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: dynevent: Add a missing lockdown check on dynevent
Since dynamic_events interface on tracefs is compatible with kprobe_events and uprobe_events, it should also check the lockdown status and reject if it is set.
