Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Two-phase seccomp and x86 tracing changes
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:32:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1405452484.git.luto@amacapital.net> (raw)
This is both a cleanup and a speedup. It reduces overhead due to
installing a trivial seccomp filter by 87%. The speedup comes from
avoiding the full syscall tracing mechanism for filters that don't
return SECCOMP_RET_TRACE.
This series works by splitting the seccomp hooks into two phases.
The first phase evaluates the filter; it can skip syscalls, allow
them, kill the calling task, or pass a u32 to the second phase. The
second phase requires a full tracing context, and it sends ptrace
events if necessary.
Once this is done, I implemented a similar split for the x86 syscall
entry work. The C callback is invoked in two phases: the first has
only a partial frame, and it can request phase 2 processing with a
full frame.
Finally, I switch the 64-bit system_call code to use the new split
entry work. This is a net deletion of assembly code: it replaces
all of the audit entry muck.
In the process, I fixed some bugs.
If this is acceptable, someone can do the same tweak for the
ia32entry and entry_32 code.
This passes all seccomp tests that I know of, except for the ones
that don't work on current kernels.
Presumably, once everyone gets a chance to poke at this, it should
go in to some combination of James' and hpa's trees.
Changes from RFC version:
- The first three patches are more or less the same
- The rest is more or less a rewrite
