Subject: [PATCH 1/2] linux-user: add a plugin API to filter syscalls
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 21:34:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110133442.579086-2-functioner@sjtu.edu.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110133442.579086-1-functioner@sjtu.edu.cn>

This commit adds a syscall filter API to the TCG plugin API set.
Plugins can register a filter callback to QEMU to decide whether
to intercept a syscall, process it and bypass the QEMU syscall
handler.
