That's why the vDSO-like approach. Enforcing an access control is not the issue here, patching a buggy userland (without patching its code) is the issue isn't it? As far as I remember, the main problem is to handle file descriptors while "emulating" the kernel behavior. This can be done with a "shim" code mapped in every processes. Chrome used something like this (in a previous sandbox mechanism) as a kind of emulation (with the current seccomp-bpf ). I think it should be doable to replace the (userland) emulation code with an IPC wrapper receiving file descriptors through UNIX socket.
