Subject: [PATCH v2] linux-user: Use memfd for open syscall emulation
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 17:49:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220729154951.76268-1-raimue@codingfarm.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220725162811.87985-1-raimue@codingfarm.de>
For certain paths in /proc, the open syscall is intercepted and the
returned file descriptor points to a temporary file with emulated
contents.
If TMPDIR is not accessible or writable for the current user (for
example in a read-only mounted chroot or container) tools such as ps
from procps may fail unexpectedly. Trying to read one of these paths
such as /proc/self/stat would return an error such as ENOENT or EROFS.
To relax the requirement on a writable TMPDIR, use memfd_create()
instead to create an anonymous file and return its file descriptor.

v2: no more #ifdefs, use stub from util/memfd.c with ENOSYS fallback,
tested with 'strace -e fault=memfd_create'
