[PATCH 0/3] seccomp: opt in to restarting notifications before receipt

[Cong Wang]

From: Cong Wang <cwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Sandlock is an unprivileged Linux process sandbox that uses Landlock and
seccomp to confine untrusted programs.

While using seccomp user notifications to enforce process limits,
sandlock encountered intermittent shell pipeline failures: SIGCHLD can
interrupt a pending fork notification and make fork return EINTR before
it executes [1]. The same pre-execution interruption can leave an
intercepted close returning EINTR with its descriptor still open.

Receiving notifications eagerly only narrows the race, and
WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV protects the task only after receipt. This series
adds SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_RESTART_BEFORE_RECV so applications can opt in
to restarting these unexecuted syscalls after the signal handler
returns. Existing signal-driven cancellation remains unchanged unless
the flag is enabled. The series includes regression tests and
documentation.
