[PATCH v4 1/4] seccomp: Add sysctl to display available actions

[Tyler Hicks]

This patch creates a read-only sysctl containing an ordered list of
seccomp actions that the kernel supports. The ordering, from left to
right, is the lowest action value (kill) to the highest action value
(allow). Currently, a read of the sysctl file would return "kill trap
errno trace allow". The contents of this sysctl file can be useful for
userspace code as well as the system administrator.

The path to the sysctl is:

  /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_avail

libseccomp and other userspace code can easily determine which actions
the current kernel supports. The set of actions supported by the current
kernel may be different than the set of action macros found in kernel
headers that were installed where the userspace code was built.

In addition, this sysctl will allow system administrators to know which
actions are supported by the kernel and make it easier to configure
exactly what seccomp logs through the audit subsystem. Support for this
level of logging configuration will come in a future patch.

+Sysctls
+-------
+
+Seccomp's sysctl files can be found in the /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/
+directory. Here's a description of each file in that directory:
+
+actions_avail:
+	A read-only ordered list of seccomp return values (refer to the
+	SECCOMP_RET_* macros above) in string form. The ordering, from
+	left-to-right, is the least permissive return value to the most
+	permissive return value.
 
+	The list represents the set of seccomp return values supported
+	by the kernel. A userspace program may use this list to
+	determine if the actions found in the seccomp.h, when the
+	program was built, differs from the set of actions actually
+	supported in the current running kernel.
