In D15100, which I just put on Phabricator, it's possible for processes =
to be excluded from PTI. What is not in D15100 is policy, nor =
implementation of a policy, to select which processes are excluded from =
PTI.
A trivial implementation of a policy would be something like this:

Another approach, suggested by kib, is to provide finer-grained control. =
Perhaps using procctl(2) instead.
I'm curious to solicit some feedback on this.
Thanks!
