Subject: Re: [PATCH v12 07/13] seccomp: add SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO

Quoting Will Drewry (wad@...omium.org):
> This change adds the SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO as a valid return value from a
> seccomp filter.  Additionally, it makes the first use of the lower
> 16-bits for storing a filter-supplied errno.  16-bits is more than
> enough for the errno-base.h calls.
> 
> Returning errors instead of immediately terminating processes that
> violate seccomp policy allow for broader use of this functionality
> for kernel attack surface reduction.  For example, a linux container
> could maintain a whitelist of pre-existing system calls but drop

Clever :)

Thanks, Will.

For patches 1-7,

Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@...onical.com>

The -1 return value from __secure_computing_int() seems like it
could stand  #define, like

#define SECCOMP_DONTRUN -1
#define SECCOMP_RUN 0

or something Maybe not, but -1 always scares me and I had to look back
and forth a few times to make sure it was doing what I would want.

(I've only quickly looked at the following ones.   I had no
objection, but didn't seriously review them.)
