    Subject[PATCH 06/44] kernel/ksysfs.c: expose file_caps_enabled in sysfs
    Date
    From: Ludwig Nussel <ludwig.nussel@suse.de>

    A kernel booted with no_file_caps allows to install fscaps on a binary
    but doesn't actually honor the fscaps when running the binary. Userspace
    currently has no sane way to determine whether installing fscaps
    actually has any effect. Since parsing /proc/cmdline is fragile this
    patch exposes the current setting (1 or 0) via /sys/kernel/fscaps
