For the hardened profile enable flushing whenever the hypervisor enters the guest, but otherwise leave at kernel default (conditional flushing as of writing).

Whether to allow creation of user namespaces. A recurring problem
|
|
with user namespaces is the presence of code paths where the kernel's
|
|
permission checking logic fails to account for namespacing, instead
|
|
permitting a namespaced process to act outside the namespace with the
|
|
same privileges as it would have inside it. This is particularly
|
|
damaging in the common case of running as root within the namespace.
|
|
When user namespace creation is disallowed, attempting to create
|
|
a user namespace fails with "no space left on device" (ENOSPC).
