[RFC PATCH 0/9] SECCOMP based userspace for UML

[Benjamin Berg]

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg at intel.com>

Hi all,

this is an updated version of the SECCOMP patchset. 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.

This new version of the patchset changes the security model to use FD
passing for the memory to ensure only the stub code can use the
permitted syscalls. Note that the current SECCOMP filter is not yet
sufficient to prevent userspace from tricking the kernel (and stub) to
map any physical memory.

Also new is working i386 support.

Benjamin
