[PATCH v4 1/3] ptrace,syscall_user_dispatch: Implement Syscall User Dispatch Suspension

From: Gregory Price
Date: Sat Jan 21 2023 - 05:23:34 EST


Adds PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH to ptrace options, and
modify Syscall User Dispatch to suspend interception when enabled.

This is modeled after the SUSPEND_SECCOMP feature, which suspends
SECCOMP interposition. Without doing this, software like CRIU will
inject system calls into a process and be intercepted by Syscall
User Dispatch, either causing a crash (due to blocked signals) or
the delivery of those signals to a ptracer (not the intended behavior).

Since Syscall User Dispatch is not a privileged feature, a check
for permissions is not required, however attempting to set this
option when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE it not supported should be
disallowed, as its intended use is checkpoint/resume.
