The networking programs typically don't require CAP_PERFMON, but through kfuncs like bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() they can access memory through PTR_TO_BTF_ID. In such case enforce CAP_PERFMON. Also make sure that only GPL programs can access kernel data structures. All kfuncs require GPL already. Also remove allow_ptr_to_map_access. It's the same as allow_ptr_leaks and different name for the same check only causes confusion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
