Small side note:

A complete version of Matt's initial patch has lived on in 
linux-hardened [0][1] with the `SECURITY_TIOCSTI_RESTRICT` Kconfig 
(default no) and a `tiocsti_restrict` sysctl.

If a re-attempt is feasible, both patchs [0][1] could potentially be 
re-proposed as is.

In linux-hardened we have an independent patch [2] which simply sets the 
default value of `SECURITY_TIOCSTI_RESTRICT` to `yes`, but that most 
likely is not desired.

cheers,
Levente
