+Subject: [24/29] debugfs: Disallow use of debugfs files when the kernel is
+ locked down
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit?id=118cc5e1c27e1a75640cf2379c1299e12791063e
+
+Disallow opening of debugfs files when the kernel is locked down as various
+drivers give raw access to hardware through debugfs.
+
+Accesses to tracefs should use /sys/kernel/tracing/ rather than
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. Possibly a symlink should be emplaced.
+
+Normal device interaction should be done through configfs or a miscdev, not
+debugfs.
+
+Note that this makes it unnecessary to specifically lock down show_dsts(),
+show_devs() and show_call() in the asus-wmi driver.
