Introduce a mechanism to quickly disable/enable syscall handling for a specific process and redirect to userspace via SIGSYS. This is useful for processes with parts that require syscall redirection and parts that don't, but who need to perform this boundary crossing really fast, without paying the cost of a system call to reconfigure syscall handling on each boundary transition. This is particularly important for Windows games running over Wine. The proposed interface looks like this: prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, <op>, <start_addr>, <end_addr>, [selector]) The range [<start_addr>,<end_addr>] is a part of the process memory map that is allowed to by-pass the redirection code and dispatch syscalls directly, such that in fast paths a process doesn't need to disable the trap nor the kernel has to check the selector. This is essential to return from SIGSYS to a blocked area without triggering another SIGSYS from rt_sigreturn. selector is an optional pointer to a char-sized userspace memory region that has a key switch for the mechanism. This key switch is set to either PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON, PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF to enable and disable the redirection without calling the kernel. The feature is meant to be set per-thread and it is disabled on fork/clone/execv. Internally, this doesn't add overhead to the syscall hot path, and it requires very little per-architecture support. I avoided using seccomp, even though it duplicates some functionality, due to previous feedback that maybe it shouldn't mix with seccomp since it is not a security mechanism. And obviously, this should never be considered a security mechanism, since any part of the program can by-pass it by using the syscall dispatcher. For the sysinfo benchmark, which measures the overhead added to executing a native syscall that doesn't require interception, the overhead using only the direct dispatcher region to issue syscalls is pretty much irrelevant. The overhead of using the selector goes around 40ns for a native (unredirected) syscall in my system, and it is (as expected) dominated by the supervisor-mode user-address access. In fact, with SMAP off, the overhead is consistently less than 5ns on my test box. An example code using this interface can be found at: https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/syscall-disable-personality Changes since v4: (Andy Lutomirski) - Allow sigreturn coming from vDSO - Exit with SIGSYS instead of SIGSEGV on bad selector (Thomas Gleixner) - Use sizeof selector in access_ok - Document usage of __get_user - Use constant for state value - Split out x86 parts - Rebase on top of Gleixner's common entry code - Don't expose do_syscall_user_dispatch Changes since v3: - NTR. Changes since v2: (Matthew Wilcox suggestions) - Drop __user on non-ptr type. - Move #define closer to similar defs - Allow a memory region that can dispatch directly (Kees Cook suggestions) - Improve kconfig summary line - Move flag cleanup on execve to begin_new_exec - Hint branch predictor in the syscall path (Me) - Convert selector to char Changes since RFC: (Kees Cook suggestions) - Don't mention personality while explaining the feature - Use syscall_get_nr - Remove header guard on several places - Convert WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE - Explicit check for state values - Rename to syscall user dispatcher Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Paul Gofman <gofmanp@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-api@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/Kconfig | 21 ++++++ fs/exec.c | 8 ++ include/linux/sched.h | 2 + include/linux/syscall_intercept.h | 1 + include/linux/syscall_user_dispatch.h | 29 ++++++++ include/uapi/linux/prctl.h | 5 ++ kernel/entry/Makefile | 1 + kernel/entry/common.h | 15 ++++ kernel/entry/syscall_user_dispatch.c | 101 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sys.c | 5 ++ 10 files changed, 188 insertions(+) create mode 100644 include/linux/syscall_user_dispatch.h create mode 100644 kernel/entry/common.h create mode 100644 kernel/entry/syscall_user_dispatch.c diff --git a/arch/Kconfig b/arch/Kconfig index af14a567b493..6e022c5de020 100644 --- a/arch/Kconfig +++ b/arch/Kconfig @@ -468,6 +468,27 @@ config SECCOMP_FILTER See Documentation/userspace-api/seccomp_filter.rst for details. +config HAVE_ARCH_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH + bool + help + An arch should select this symbol if it provides all of these things: + - TIF_SYSCALL_INTERCEPT + - syscall_get_arch + - syscall_rollback + - syscall_get_nr + - SIGSYS siginfo_t support + - arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn + +config SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH + bool "Support syscall redirection to userspace dispatcher" + depends on HAVE_ARCH_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH + help + Enable tasks to ask the kernel to redirect syscalls not + issued from a predefined dispatcher back to userspace, + depending on a userspace memory selector. + + This option is useful to optimize games running over Wine. + config HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK bool help diff --git a/fs/exec.c b/fs/exec.c index a91003e28eaa..9cdf827151c4 100644 --- a/fs/exec.c +++ b/fs/exec.c @@ -62,6 +62,7 @@ #include <linux/oom.h> #include <linux/compat.h> #include <linux/vmalloc.h> +#include <linux/syscall_intercept.h> #include <linux/uaccess.h> #include <asm/mmu_context.h> @@ -1418,6 +1419,13 @@ int begin_new_exec(struct linux_binprm * bprm) flush_thread();
