+Subject: [05/29] Restrict /dev/{mem,kmem,port} when the kernel is locked down
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit?id=8214bb0d847928bf08a7d8475f84c06541c5a352
+
+Allowing users to read and write to core kernel memory makes it possible
+for the kernel to be subverted, avoiding module loading restrictions, and
+also to steal cryptographic information.
+
+Disallow /dev/mem and /dev/kmem from being opened this when the kernel has
+been locked down to prevent this.
+
+Also disallow /dev/port from being opened to prevent raw ioport access and
+thus DMA from being used to accomplish the same thing.
