See comments on patch 3 for reorganizing this a bit for the next
version.

For the infrastructure patch, I'd like to see much of the cover letter
in the commit log (otherwise those details are harder for people to
find). That will describe the _why_ for preparing this change, etc.

For the emulator patch, I'd like to see the discussion about how the
subset of BFP instructions was selected, what libraries  Jann and I
examined, etc.

(For all of these commit logs, I try to pretend that whoever is reading
it has not followed any lkml thread of discussion, etc.)

There's no need for this config and the per-arch Kconfig clutter:
SECCOMP_ARCH_NATIVE will be a sufficient gate.

I don't want this config: there is only 1 caching mechanism happening
in this series and I do not want to have it buildable as "off": it
should be available for all supported architectures. When further caching
methods happen, the config can be introduced then (though I'll likely
argue it should then be a boot param to allow distro kernels to make it
selectable).

naming nits: "data" doesn't tell me anything. "seccomp_action_cache"
might be better. Or since it's an internal struct, maybe just
"action_cache". And let's not use the word "container" for the kerndoc. ;)
How about "per-filter cache of seccomp actions per arch/syscall pair"

naming nit: "syscall" is redundant here, IMO. "allow_native" should be
fine.

naming: I would drop "emu" from here. The caller doesn't care how it is

The guiding principle with seccomp's designs is to always make things
_more_ restrictive, never less. While we can never escape the
consequences of having seccomp_is_const_allow() report the wrong
answer, we can at least follow the basic principles, hopefully
minimizing the impact.

When the bitmap starts with "always allowed" and we only flip it towards
"run full filters", we're only ever making things more restrictive. If
we instead go from "run full filters" towards "always allowed", we run
the risk of making things less restrictive. For example: a process that
maliciously adds a filter that the emulator mistakenly evaluates to
"always allow" doesn't suddenly cause all the prior filters to stop running.
(i.e. this isolates the flaw outcome, and doesn't depend on the early
"do not emulate if we already know we have to run filters" case before
the emulation call: there is no code path that allows the cache to
weaken: it can only maintain it being wrong).

Without any seccomp filter installed, all syscalls are "always allowed"
(from the perspective of the seccomp boundary), so the default of the
cache needs to be "always allowed".


	if (bitmap_prev) {
		/* The new filter must be as restrictive as the last. */
		bitmap_copy(bitmap, bitmap_prev, bitmap_size);
	} else {
		/* Before any filters, all syscalls are always allowed. */
		bitmap_fill(bitmap, bitmap_size);
	}

	for (nr = 0; nr < bitmap_size; nr++) {
		/* No bitmap change: not a cacheable action. */
		if (!test_bit(nr, bitmap_prev) ||
			continue;

		/* No bitmap change: continue to always allow. */
		if (seccomp_is_const_allow(fprog, &sd))
			continue;

		/* Not a cacheable action: always run filters. */
		clear_bit(nr, bitmap);

Jann, do we need a WRITE_ONCE() or something when writing
current->seccomp.filter here? I think the rmb() in __seccomp_filter() will
cover the cache bitmap writes having finished before the filter pointer
is followed in the TSYNC case.

Otherwise, yes, I'm looking forward to having this for everyone to use!
