The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent, interface to the Linux enhanced syscall filtering mechanism that was first introduced in Linux 3.5. * http://sourceforge.net/projects/libseccomp * http://sf.net/projects/libseccomp/files/libseccomp-2.0.0.tar.gz/download This new version of libseccomp is source compatible with version 1.0.0 and later of the library. Both the libseccomp v2.x and libseccomp v1.x libraries should be able to coexist on the same system but all users are encouraged to upgrade to the new version at their earliest convenience. Changes in the 2.0.0 release include: * Fixes for the x86 multiplexed syscalls * Additions to the API to better support non-native architectures * Additions to the API to support multiple architectures in one filter * Additions to the API to resolve syscall name/number mappings * Assorted minor bug fixes * Improved build messages regardless of build verbosity * More automated tests added as well as a number of improvements to the test harness Finally, thank you to everyone who has submitted suggestions, provided testing help, and contributed patches to the project. -- paul moore security and virtualization @ redhat
