We currently allow any process to use rdpmc. This significantly weakens the protection offered by PR_TSC_DISABLED, and it could be helpful to users attempting to exploit timing attacks. Since we can't enable access to individual counters, use a very coarse heuristic to limit access to rdpmc: allow access only when a perf_event is mmapped. This protects seccomp sandboxes. There is plenty of room to further tighen these restrictions. For example, this allows rdpmc for any x86_pmu event, but it's only useful for self-monitoring tasks. As a side effect, cap_user_rdpmc will now be false for AMD uncore events. This isn't a real regression, since .event_idx is disabled for these events anyway for the time being. Whenever that gets re-added, the cap_user_rdpmc code can be adjusted or refactored accordingly.
