That's why the vDSO-like approach. Enforcing an access control is not
the issue here, patching a buggy userland (without patching its code) is
the issue isn't it?
As far as I remember, the main problem is to handle file descriptors
while "emulating" the kernel behavior. This can be done with a "shim"
code mapped in every processes. Chrome used something like this (in a
previous sandbox mechanism) as a kind of emulation (with the current
seccomp-bpf ). I think it should be doable to replace the (userland)
emulation code with an IPC wrapper receiving file descriptors through
UNIX socket.
