v6: drop fs/proc/array update, it's not needed
drop on_dispatch field exposure in config structure, it's not
checkpoint relevant.
(Thank you for the reviews Oleg and Andrei)
v5: automated test for !defined(GENERIC_ENTRY) failed, fix fs/proc
use ifdef for GENERIC_ENTRY || TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH
note: syscall user dispatch is not presently supported for
non-generic entry, but could be implemented. question is
whether the TIF_ define should be carved out now or then
v4: Whitespace
s/CHECKPOINT_RESTART/CHECKPOINT_RESUME
check test_syscall_work(SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH) to determine if it's
turned on or not in fs/proc/array and getter interface
v3: Kernel test robot static function fix
Whitespace nitpicks
v2: Implements the getter/setter interface in ptrace rather than prctl
Syscall user dispatch makes it possible to cleanly intercept system
calls from user-land. However, most transparent checkpoint software
presently leverages some combination of ptrace and system call
injection to place software in a ready-to-checkpoint state.
If Syscall User Dispatch is enabled at the time of being quiesced,
injected system calls will subsequently be interposed upon and
dispatched to the task's signal handler.
This patch set implements 2 features to enable software such as CRIU
to cleanly interpose upon software leveraging syscall user dispatch.
- Implement PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, akin to a similar
feature for SECCOMP. This allows a ptracer to temporarily disable
syscall user dispatch, making syscall injection possible.
- Implement a getter interface for Syscall User Dispatch config info.
To resume successfully, the checkpoint/resume software has to
save and restore this information. Presently this configuration
is write-only, with no way for C/R software to save it.
This was done in ptrace because syscall user dispatch is not part of
uapi. The syscall_user_dispatch_config structure was added to the
ptrace exports.
