From fedf99200ab086c42a572fca1d7266b06cdc3e3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kui-Feng Lee Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 11:14:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Print a warning only if writing to unprivileged_bpf_disabled. Only print the warning message if you are writing to "/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled". The kernel may print an annoying warning when you read "/proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled" saying WARNING: Unprivileged eBPF is enabled with eIBRS on, data leaks possible via Spectre v2 BHB attacks! However, this message is only meaningful when the feature is disabled or enabled.
