Hi,

I need to lock down kprobes under secure boot conditions as part of the patch
series that can be found here:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=efi-lock-down

Can you tell me that if the attached patch is sufficient to the cause?

Thanks,
David

    Lock down kprobes
    
    Disallow the creation of kprobes when the kernel is locked down by
    preventing their registration.  This prevents kprobes from being used to
    access kernel memory, either to make modifications or to steal crypto data.
