Hi,

is it necessary that "debugfs" is mounted by default?

perf needs/wants it, as does other things that we need for suportability
(usb device list, etc.)

It exposes too much of the kernel readable (and so potentially
exploitable) to the non-root user.

What is exploitable in debugfs, and "too readable"?

thanks,
