Hi Kees, I considered instrumenting the syscall instructions with calls to some wrapper, but I was told that modifying the game in memory or on disk will trigger all sorts of anti-cheating mechanisms (my main use case are windows games). >> [...] >> * Why not SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER? >> >> We experimented with dynamically generating BPF filters for whitelisted >> memory regions and using SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, but there are a few >> reasons why it isn't enough nor a good idea for our use case: >> >> 1.

Paul (cc'ed) is the wine expert, but my understanding is that memory allocation and initial program load of the emulated binary will go through wine. It does the allocation and mark the vma accordingly before returning the allocated range to the windows application. >> 3. As I mentioned before, performance is critical.

Signal handling > can be pretty slow. Did you try SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF? I experimented with SECCOMP_RET_TRAP and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE, but I hadn't consider USER_NOTIF. It seems to be a quite recent feature and I wasn't aware of it. I will try it and let you know. >> diff --git a/include/linux/mman.h b/include/linux/mman.h >> index 4b08e9c9c538..a5ca42eb685a 100644 >> --- a/include/linux/mman.h >> +++ b/include/linux/mman.h >> @@ -94,7 +94,8 @@ static inline void vm_unacct_memory(long pages) >> */ >> static inline bool arch_validate_prot(unsigned long prot, unsigned long addr) >> { >> - return (prot & ~(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC | PROT_SEM)) == 0; >> + return (prot & ~(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC | PROT_SEM >> + | PROT_NOSYSCALL)) == 0; >> } >> #define arch_validate_prot arch_validate_prot >> #endif >> @@ -119,6 +120,7 @@ calc_vm_prot_bits(unsigned long prot, unsigned long pkey) >> return _calc_vm_trans(prot, PROT_READ, VM_READ ) | >> _calc_vm_trans(prot, PROT_WRITE, VM_WRITE) | >> _calc_vm_trans(prot, PROT_EXEC, VM_EXEC) | >> + _calc_vm_trans(prot, PROT_NOSYSCALL, VM_NOSYSCALL) | >> arch_calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, pkey); >> } >> >> diff --git a/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h b/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h >> index f94f65d429be..4eafbaa3f4bc 100644 >> --- a/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h >> +++ b/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h >> @@ -13,6 +13,8 @@ >> #define PROT_SEM 0x8 /* page may be used for atomic ops */ >> /* 0x10 reserved for arch-specific use */ >> /* 0x20 reserved for arch-specific use */ >> +#define PROT_NOSYSCALL 0x40 /* page cannot trigger syscalls */ >> + >> #define PROT_NONE 0x0 /* page can not be accessed */ >> #define PROT_GROWSDOWN 0x01000000 /* mprotect flag: extend change to start of growsdown vma */ >> #define PROT_GROWSUP 0x02000000 /* mprotect flag: extend change to end of growsup vma */ > > AIUI, all of the above is to plumb the VMA marking through an mprotect() > call.

Take a look at MADV_WIPEONFORK / VM_WIPEONFORK. Right, will do. I considered it, but wasn't sure if madvise semantics gave any guarantees of the result, but is seems to be the case for at least for WIPEONFORK. it is important to have it configurable on mmap too, to avoid the extra syscall. Plumbing through the mmap flags argument shouldn't be a problem. >> diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/seccomp.h b/include/uapi/linux/seccomp.h >> index c1735455bc53..c7d042a409e7 100644 >> --- a/include/uapi/linux/seccomp.h >> +++ b/include/uapi/linux/seccomp.h >> @@ -10,12 +10,14 @@ >> #define SECCOMP_MODE_DISABLED 0 /* seccomp is not in use. */ >> #define SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT 1 /* uses hard-coded filter. */ >> #define SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER 2 /* uses user-supplied filter. */ >> +#define SECCOMP_MODE_MEMMAP 3 /* Lock syscalls per memory region. */ > > Making this incompatible with FILTER might cause problems for the future > (more and more process launchers are starting to set filters). > > So this would, perhaps, be a new flag for struct seccomp, rather than a > new operating mode. Yes, agreed. I guess it would be a real scenario, even for us, to have isolation against malicious syscalls (MODE_FILTER) combined with region protection (MEMAP) for emulation. > >> >> /* Valid operations for seccomp syscall. */ >> #define SECCOMP_SET_MODE_STRICT 0 >> #define SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER 1 >> #define SECCOMP_GET_ACTION_AVAIL 2 >> #define SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES 3 >> +#define SECCOMP_SET_MODE_MEMMAP 4 >> >> /* Valid flags for SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER */ >> #define SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC (1UL << 0) >> diff --git a/kernel/seccomp.c b/kernel/seccomp.c >> index 55a6184f5990..ebf09b02db8d 100644 >> --- a/kernel/seccomp.c >> +++ b/kernel/seccomp.c >> @@ -930,6 +930,55 @@ static int __seccomp_filter(int this_syscall, const struct seccomp_data *sd, >> } >> #endif >> >> +#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP_MEMMAP >> +static int __seccomp_memmap(int this_syscall, const struct seccomp_data *sd) >> +{ >> + struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(current->mm, >> + sd->instruction_pointer); >> + if (!vma) >> + BUG(); > > No new kernel code should use BUG: > https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#bug-and-bug-on > > I would maybe pr_warn_once(), but then treat it as if it was marked with > VM_NOSYSCALL. > >> + >> + if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NOSYSCALL)) >> + return 0; >> + >> + syscall_rollback(current, task_pt_regs(current)); >> + seccomp_send_sigsys(this_syscall, 0); >> + >> + seccomp_log(this_syscall, SIGSYS, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, true); >> + >> + return -1; >> +} > > This really just looks like an ip_address filter, but I get what you > mean about stacking filters, etc. This may finally be the day we turn to > eBPF in seccomp, since that would give you access to using a map lookup > on ip_address, and the map could be updated externally (removing the > need for the madvise() changes). And 64-bit comparisons :) that would be a good solution, we'd still need to look at some details, like disabling/updating filters at runtime when some new library is loaded, but since we can update externally, I think it covers it. >From the wine side, it should be enough to get the semantics we want, but I don't know about performance. >> + >> +static long seccomp_set_mode_memmap(unsigned int flags) >> +{ >> + const unsigned long seccomp_mode = SECCOMP_MODE_MEMMAP; >> + long ret = 0; >> + >> + if (flags & SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC) >> + return -EINVAL; > > This should just test for any bits in flags.

The results I shared in the previous email had the following filter: BPF_STMT(BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_ABS, (offsetof(struct seccomp_data, nr))), BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP | BPF_JGE | BPF_K, 0xf000, 0, 1), BPF_STMT(BPF_RET | BPF_K, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP), BPF_STMT(BPF_RET | BPF_K, SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW), Which is much much simpler than the real thing. I also had a small filter generator that generated segments like the following ( ip_HW and ip_LW are the high and low part of the instruction pointer): 0007: BPF_STMT(BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_ABS, ip_HW) 0008: BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K, EH, 0, REL_ADDR(next)) 0009: BPF_STMT(BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_ABS, ip_LW) 000a: BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP | BPF_JGT | BPF_K, EL, REL_ADDR(next), 0) 000b: BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP | BPF_JGE | BPF_K, SL, REL_ADDR(filter->jump_allow_target), REL_ADDR(next)) 000c: next: Thanks, -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
