perf: Fix required permissions if sigtrap is requested
If perf_event_open() is called with another task as target and
perf_event_attr::sigtrap is set, and the target task's user does not
match the calling user, also require the CAP_KILL capability or
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH permissions.
Otherwise, with the CAP_PERFMON capability alone it would be possible
for a user to send SIGTRAP signals via perf events to another user's
tasks. This could potentially result in those tasks being terminated if
they cannot handle SIGTRAP signals.
Note: The check complements the existing capability check, but is not
supposed to supersede the ptrace_may_access() check. At a high level we
now have:
capable of CAP_PERFMON and (CAP_KILL if sigtrap)
OR
ptrace_may_access(...) // also checks for same thread-group and uid
Fixes: 97ba62b27867 ("perf: Add support for SIGTRAP on perf events")
