You can also run strace and gdb as root, where the restrictions do not apply. It's simpler than fiddling with the sysctl, I think. I expect that the net effect of this change will be that quite a few of us run these tools as root. From a security perspective, it doesn't matter because our machines tend to be single-user anyway, but there's definitely a trade-off here. I concur with the suggestions to split this into separate proposals. The BPF hardening may also need further discussion. As far as I can tell, we already disable unprivileged BPF, so I don't see why further hardening is needed, given that the code comes from root anyway.
