[PATCH v3 0/8] Two-phase seccomp and x86 tracing changes

[luto@amacapital.net (Andy Lutomirski)]

[applies on jmorris's security-next tree]

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.  Now that it's properly
rebased, even the previously expected failures are gone.

Kees, if you like this version, can you create a branch with patches
1-4?  I think that the rest should go into tip/x86 once everyone's happy
with it.

Changes from v2:
 - Fixed 32-bit x86 build (and the tests pass).
 - Put the doc patch where it belongs.

Changes from v1:
 - Rebased on top of Kees' shiny new seccomp tree (no effect on the x86
   part).
 - Improved patch 6 vs patch 7 split (thanks Alexei!)
 - Fixed bogus -ENOSYS in patch 5 (thanks Kees!)
 - Improved changelog message in patch 6.

Changes from RFC version:
 - The first three patches are more or less the same
 - The rest is more or less a rewrite
