Hi, Thanks for the review. I will prepare it for the next iteration. > How does it interact with ptrace, seccomp and similar? That is a very good question. Regarding seccomp, this must take precedence, since the use case is emulation (it can be invoked with a different ABI) such that seccomp filtering by syscall number doesn't make sense in the first place. In addition, either the syscall is dispatched back to userspace, in which case there is no resource for seccomp to protect, or the syscall will be executed, and seccomp will execute next. Regarding ptrace, I experimented with before and after, and while the same ABI argument applies, I felt it was easier to debug if I let ptrace happen for syscalls that are dispatched back to userspace. In addition, doing it after ptrace makes the code in syscall_exit_work slightly simpler, since it doesn't require special handling for this feature. For PTRACE_SYSEMU in particular, either placing this before or after is a bit odd. I don't think there is a right answer for this one, but I don't see anyone wanting to use these features at the same time. I think as long as it is documented behavior, it should be fine either way. -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
