Bug#934304: linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64: powertop aborts on version 5.2

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Show all headers | View raw

Dear Maintainer,
this issue seems to start since patch:
    features/all/lockdown/0031-tracefs-Restrict-tracefs-when-the-kernel-is-locked-d.patch

Therefore a vanialla build does not show this issue.

With either of the following changes on top of all
debian patches, the exception does not happen.

But the first does also prevent opening the file
when not locked down.

The second allows to open the file, but cannot say
if the intended effect of the patch for lockdowned
kernels is still given.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
