[PATCH v8 0/6] arm64: add seccomp support

From: AKASHI Takahiro
Date: Mon Nov 17 2014 - 20:11:30 EST


This patch series enables secure computing (system call filtering) on arm64,
and contains related enhancements and bug fixes.

NOTE: This versions contain a workaround against possible BUG_ON() failure
at audit_syscall_exit(), but doesn't contain an extra optimization, as I
submitted for arm, of excluding syscall enter/exit tracing against invalid
system calls due to an issue that I reported in:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-October/292170.html

The code was tested on ARMv8 fast model with 64-bit/32-bit userspace using:
* libseccomp v2.1.1 with modifications for arm64, especially its "live"
tests: No.20, 21 and 24.
* modified version of Kees' seccomp test for 'changing/skipping a syscall'
and seccomp() system call
* in-house tests for 'changing/skipping a system call' by tracing with
ptrace(SETREGSET, NT_SYSTEM_CALL) (that is, not via seccomp filter)'
with and without audit tracing.


Changes v7 -> v8:
* changed an interface of changing a syscall number from ptrace(SET_SYSCALL)
to ptrace(SETREGSET, NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL) [1/6]
* removed IS_SKILL_SYSCALL macro [2/6]
* clarified comments in syscall_trace_enter() [2/6]
* changed unsigned int to compat_uint_t in compat_siginfo._sigsys [5/6]
* moved to a new calling interface of secure_computing(void) [6/6]

Changes v6 -> v7:
* simplified the condition of checking for user-issued syscall(-1) at
syscall_trace_enter() [2/6]
* defines __NR_seccomp_sigreturn only if arch-specific def doesn't exist.
As Kees suggests, this is necessary for x86 and others. [3/6]
* removed "#ifdef __ARCH_SIGSYS" which is always true on arm64. [5/6]
* changed to call syscall_trace_exit() even if secure_computing fails. [6/6]
In v6, syscall_trace_enter() returns RET_SYSCALL_SKIP_TRACE (== -2) and
skips syscall_trace_exit() to minimize the overhead, but this case can be
easily confused with user-issued (and invalid) syscall(-2).
Anyway, this is now a consistent behavior with arm and other archs.

Changes v5 -> v6:
* rebased to v3.17-rc
* changed the interface of changing/skipping a system call from re-writing
x8 register [v5 1/3] to using dedicated PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL command
[1/6, 2/6]
Patch [1/6] contains a checkpatch error around a switch statement, but it
won't be fixed as in compat_arch_ptrace().
* added a new system call, seccomp(), for compat task [4/6]
* added SIGSYS siginfo for compat task [5/6]
* changed to always execute audit exit tracing to avoid OOPs [2/6, 6/6]

Changes v4 -> v5:
* rebased to v3.16-rc
* add patch [1/3] to allow ptrace to change a system call
(please note that this patch should be applied even without seccomp.)

Changes v3 -> v4:
* removed the following patch and moved it to "arm64: prerequisites for
audit and ftrace" patchset since it is required for audit and ftrace in
case of !COMPAT, too.
"arm64: is_compat_task is defined both in asm/compat.h and linux/compat.h"

Changes v2 -> v3:
* removed unnecessary 'type cast' operations [2/3]
* check for a return value (-1) of secure_computing() explicitly [2/3]
* aligned with the patch, "arm64: split syscall_trace() into separate
functions for enter/exit" [2/3]
* changed default of CONFIG_SECCOMP to n [2/3]

Changes v1 -> v2:
* added generic seccomp.h for arm64 to utilize it [1,2/3]
* changed syscall_trace() to return more meaningful value (-EPERM)
on seccomp failure case [2/3]
* aligned with the change in "arm64: make a single hook to syscall_trace()
for all syscall features" v2 [2/3]
* removed is_compat_task() definition from compat.h [3/3]
