modules: sysctl to block module loading
Implement a sysctl file that disables module-loading system-wide since there is no longer a viable way to remove CAP_SYS_MODULE after the system bounding capability set was removed in 2.6.25. Value can only be set to "1", and is tested only if standard capability checks allow CAP_SYS_MODULE. Given existing /dev/mem protections, this should allow administrators a one-way method to block module loading after initial boot-time module loading has finished.

modules_disabled:
|
||||
|
||||
A toggle value indicating if modules are allowed to be loaded
|
||||
in an otherwise modular kernel. This toggle defaults to off
|
||||
(0), but can be set true (1). Once true, modules can be
|
||||
neither loaded nor unloaded, and the toggle cannot be set back
|
||||
to false.
