[PATCH v7 03/11] task_isolation: support PR_TASK_ISOLATION_STRICT mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With task_isolation mode, the task is in principle guaranteed not to
be interrupted by the kernel, but only if it behaves.  In particular,
if it enters the kernel via system call, page fault, or any of a
number of other synchronous traps, it may be unexpectedly exposed
to long latencies.  Add a simple flag that puts the process into
a state where any such kernel entry is fatal; this is defined as
happening immediately after the SECCOMP test.

To allow the state to be entered and exited, we ignore the prctl()
syscall so that we can clear the bit again later, and we ignore
exit/exit_group to allow exiting the task without a pointless signal
killing you as you try to do so.

The signature of context_tracking_exit() changes to report whether
we, in fact, are exiting back to user space, so that we can track
user exceptions properly separately from other kernel entries.
