We've just released a new version of libseccomp, libseccomp version 2.3.0.
The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent interface
to the Linux enhanced syscall filtering mechanism.
* https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/releases/tag/v2.3.0
This new version of libseccomp builds upon the previous release and should be
a drop-in replacement for the 2.x releases. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the new version at their earliest convenience.
Changes in the 2.3.0 release include:
* Added support for the s390 and s390x architectures
* Added support for the ppc, ppc64, and ppc64le architectures
* Update the internal syscall tables to match the Linux 4.5-rc releases
* Filter generation for both multiplexed and direct socket syscalls on x86
* Support for the musl libc implementation
* Additions to the API to enable runtime version checking of the library
* Enable the use of seccomp() instead of prctl() on supported systems
* Added additional tests to the regression test suite
Finally, thank you to everyone who has submitted suggestions, provided testing
help, and contributed patches to the project.
