From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Provide a single call to allow kernel code to determine whether the system
should be locked down, thereby disallowing various accesses that might
allow the running kernel image to be changed including the loading of
modules that aren't validly signed with a key we recognise, fiddling with
MSR registers and disallowing hibernation.

I'm guessing 'what' is the best option here.

+Description:
+		If CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL is enabled, the kernel can be
+		moved to a more locked down state at runtime by writing to
+		this attribute. Valid values are:
+
+		integrity:
+			The kernel will disable functionality that allows
+			userland to modify the running kernel image, other
+			than through the loading or execution of appropriately
+			signed objects.
+
+		confidentiality:
+			The kernel will disable all functionality disabled by
+			the integrity mode, but additionally will disable
+			features that potentially permit userland to obtain
+			confidential information stored within the kernel.

+Kernel lockdown functionality
+-----------------------------
+
+.. CONTENTS
+..
+.. - Overview.
+.. - Enabling Lockdown.
+
+========
+Overview
+========
+
+Traditionally Linux systems have been run with the presumption that a
+process running with full capabilities is effectively equivalent in
+privilege to the kernel itself. The lockdown feature attempts to draw
+a stronger boundary between privileged processes and the kernel,
+increasing the level of trust that can be placed in the kernel even in
+the face of hostile processes.
+
+Lockdown can be run in two modes - integrity and confidentiality. In
+integrity mode, kernel features that allow arbitrary modification of
+the running kernel image are disabled. Confidentiality mode behaves in
+the same way as integrity mode, but also blocks features that
+potentially allow a hostile userland process to extract secret
+information from the kernel.
+
+Note that lockdown depends upon the correct behaviour of the
+kernel. Exploitable vulnerabilities in the kernel may still permit
+arbitrary modification of the kernel or make it possible to disable
+lockdown features.
+
+=================
+Enabling Lockdown
+=================
+
+Lockdown can be enabled in multiple ways.
+
+Kernel configuration
+====================
+
+The kernel can be statically configured by setting either
+CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL_FORCE_INTEGRITY or
+CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL_FORCE_CONFIDENTIALITY. A kernel configured
+with CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL_FORCE_INTEGRITY may be booted into
+confidentiality mode using one of the other mechanisms, but otherwise
+the kernel will always boot into the configured mode.
+
+Kernel command line
+===================
+
+Passing lockdown=integrity or lockdown=confidentiality on the kernel
+command line will configure lockdown into the appropriate mode.
+
+Runtime configuration
+=====================
+
+/sys/kernel/security/lockdown will indicate the current lockdown
+state. The system state may be made stricter by writing either
+"integrity" or "confidentiality" into this file, but any attempts to
+make it less strict will fail.
