Hey everyone, This is the patchset coming out of the KSummit session Kees and I gave in Lisbon last week (cf. [3] which also contains slides with more details on related things such as deep argument inspection). The simple idea is to extend the seccomp notifier to allow for the continuation of a syscall. The rationale for this can be found in the commit message to [1]. For the curious there is more detail in [2]. This patchset would unblock supervising an extended set of syscalls such as mount() where a privileged process is supervising the syscalls of a lesser privileged process and emulates the syscall for the latter in userspace. For more comments on security see [1]. Thanks!
