proc: fix timerslack_ns CAP_SYS_NICE check when adjusting self
In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p == current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't. Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns (which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method). This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking the CAP_SYS_NICE value. This patch applies on top of my two previous patches currently in -mm Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: John Stultz <[email protected]> Acked-by: Kees Cook <[email protected]> Cc: "Serge E.
