-To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they allow:
-
-- /proc/kmsg allows:
- - open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive
- single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ).
- - everything, after an open.
-
-- syslog syscall allows:
- - anything, if CAP_SYSLOG.
- - SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if dmesg_restrict==0.
- - nothing else (EPERM).
-
-The use-cases were:
-- dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs.
-- sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the
- destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs.
-
-AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't
-clear the ring buffer.
-
-Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides
-reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e. SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR),
-so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive syslog syscall actions.
-
-To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the constants
-to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and
-SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC). SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows
-non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC allows destructive actions
-after a capabilities-constrained SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check.
-
-- /dev/kmsg allows:
- - open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0
- - reading/polling, after open
