Maybe make that "may return 0" instead of "will return 0" - reading
from /proc/$pid/mem can only return 0 in the following cases AFAICS:

1. task->mm was already gone at open() time
2. mm->mm_users has dropped to zero (the mm only has lazytlb users;
   page tables and VMAs are being blown away or have been blown away)
3. the syscall was called with length 0

When a process has gone away, normally mm->mm_users will drop to zero,
but someone else could theoretically still be holding a reference to
the mm (e.g. someone else in the middle of accessing /proc/$pid/mem).
(Such references should normally not be very long-lived though.)

Additionally, in the unlikely case that the OOM killer just chomped
through the page tables of the target process, I think the read will
return -EIO (same error as if the address was simply unmapped) if the
address is within a non-shared mapping. (Maybe that's something procfs
could do better...)

Yeah. (Well, AFAICS technically, you can add more filters that return
SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF, but when a filter returns that without having
a notifier fd attached, seccomp blocks the syscall with -ENOSYS; it
won't use the notifier fd attached to a different filter in the
chain.)

Yeah, sounds good.

Because it's random memory filled by another process, which we don't
necessarily trust. While seccomp notifiers aren't usable for applying
*extra* security restrictions, the supervisor will still often be more
privileged than the supervised process.

Because in userspace, we cast the result of malloc() to a "struct
seccomp_notif_resp *". If the kernel tells us that it expects a size
smaller than sizeof(struct seccomp_notif_resp), then we end up with a
pointer to a struct that consists partly of allocated memory, partly
of out-of-bounds memory, which is generally a bad idea - I'm not sure
whether the C standard permits that. And if userspace then e.g.
decides to access some member of that struct that is beyond what the
kernel thinks is the struct size, we get actual OOB memory accesses.
