Hi all,

here is an updated version of the SECCOMP patchset. The main improvement
to the previous RFC version is that now FP registers will work correctly
on 32 bit. I hope it is in a relatively good state overall, but I expect
we will not merge this into 6.13.

The patchset adds a new userspace handling mode to UML that is based on
a SECCOMP filter and trusted code within each userspace process.

One advantage of this approach is that it saves quite a few context
switches when handling pagefaults (and syscalls to some extend). The
reason is that the ptrace code needs a separate context switch to
execute syscalls in the stub as well as another one to grab the segfault
information.

RFCv2:
- Fix FP handling on i386
- Improved MM list for userspace sigchild handling

Benjamin Berg (9):
  um: Store full CSGSFS and SS register from mcontext
  um: Move faultinfo extraction into userspace routine
  um: Add UML_SECCOMP configuration option
  um: Add stub side of SECCOMP/futex based process handling
  um: Add helper functions to get/set state for SECCOMP
  um: Add SECCOMP support detection and initialization
  um: Track userspace children dying in SECCOMP mode
  um: Implement kernel side of SECCOMP based process handling
  um: pass FD for memory operations when needed
