[PATCH v18 10/15] seccomp: add SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO

From: Will Drewry
Date: Thu Apr 12 2012 - 17:51:43 EST


This change adds the SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO as a valid return value from a
seccomp filter. Additionally, it makes the first use of the lower
16-bits for storing a filter-supplied errno. 16-bits is more than
enough for the errno-base.h calls.

Returning errors instead of immediately terminating processes that
violate seccomp policy allow for broader use of this functionality
for kernel attack surface reduction. For example, a linux container
could maintain a whitelist of pre-existing system calls but drop
all new ones with errnos. This would keep a logically static attack
surface while providing errnos that may allow for graceful failure
without the downside of do_exit() on a bad call.

This change also changes the signature of __secure_computing. It
appears the only direct caller is the arm entry code and it clobbers
any possible return value (register) immediately.

v18: - fix up comments and rebase
- fix bad var name which was fixed in later revs
- remove _int() and just change the __secure_computing signature
v16-v17: ...
v15: - use audit_seccomp and add a skip label. (eparis@xxxxxxxxxx)
- clean up and pad out return codes (indan@xxxxxx)
v14: - no change/rebase
v13: - rebase on to 88ebdda6159ffc15699f204c33feb3e431bf9bdc
v12: - move to WARN_ON if filter is NULL
(oleg@xxxxxxxxxx, luto@xxxxxxx, keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
- return immediately for filter==NULL (keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
- change evaluation to only compare the ACTION so that layered
errnos don't result in the lowest one being returned.
(keeschook@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
v11: - check for NULL filter (keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
v10: - change loaders to fn
v9: - n/a
v8: - update Kconfig to note new need for syscall_set_return_value.
- reordered such that TRAP behavior follows on later.
- made the for loop a little less indent-y
v7: - introduced
