[PATCH 0/4] Atomic addfd send and reply

[Sargun Dhillon]

This is somewhat of a respin of "Handle seccomp notification preemption"
but without the controversial parts.

This patchset addresses a race condition we've dealt with recently with
seccomp. Specifically programs interrupting syscalls while they're in
progress. This was exacerbated by Golang's recent adoption of "async
preemption", in which they try to interrupt any syscall that's been
running for more than 10ms during GC. During certain syscalls, it's
non-trivial to write them in a reetrant manner in userspace (socket).

[PATCH 1/4] Documentation: seccomp: Fix user notification documentation

[Sargun Dhillon]

The documentation had some previously incorrect information about how
userspace notifications (and responses) were handled due to a change
from a previously proposed patchset.

[PATCH 2/4] seccomp: Refactor notification handler to prepare for new semantics

[Sargun Dhillon]

This refactors the user notification code to have a do / while loop around
the completion condition. This has a small change in semantic, in that
previously we ignored addfd calls upon wakeup if the notification had been
responded to, but instead with the new change we check for an outstanding
addfd calls prior to returning to userspace.

Rodrigo Campos also identified a bug that can result in addfd causing
an early return, when the supervisor didn't actually handle the syscall [1].

[PATCH 3/4] seccomp: Support atomic "addfd + send reply"

[Sargun Dhillon]

From: Rodrigo Campos <rodrigo@kinvolk.io>

Alban Crequy reported a race condition userspace faces when we want to
add some fds and make the syscall return them[1] using seccomp notify.

The problem is that currently two different ioctl() calls are needed by
the process handling the syscalls (agent) for another userspace process
(target): SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD to allocate the fd and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND to return that value. Therefore, it is possible
for the agent to do the first ioctl to add a file descriptor but the
target is interrupted (EINTR) before the agent does the second ioctl()
call.

Other patches in this series add a way to block signals when a syscall
is put to wait by seccomp. However, that might be a big hammer for some
cases, as the golang runtime uses SIGURG to interrupt threads for GC
collection.  Sometimes we just don't want to interfere with the GC, for
example, and just either add the fd and return it or fail the syscall.
With no leaking fds added inadvertly to the target process.

This patch adds a flag to the ADDFD ioctl() so it adds the fd and
returns that value atomically to the target program, as suggested by
Kees Cook[2]. This is done by simply allowing
seccomp_do_user_notification() to add the fd and return it in this case.
Therefore, in this case the target wakes up from the wait in
seccomp_do_user_notification() either to interrupt the syscall or to add
the fd and return it.

This "allocate an fd and return" functionality is useful for syscalls
that return a file descriptor only, like connect(2). Other syscalls that
return a file descriptor but not as return value (or return more than
one fd), like socketpair(), pipe(), recvmsg with SCM_RIGHTs, will not
work with this flag. The way to go to emulate those in cases where a
signal might interrupt is to use the functionality to block signals.

The struct seccomp_notif_resp, used when doing SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND
ioctl() to send a response to the target, has three more fields that we
don't allow to set when doing the addfd ioctl() to also return. The
reasons to disallow each field are:
 * val: This will be set to the new allocated fd. No point taking it
   from userspace in this case.
 * error: If this is non-zero, the value is ignored. Therefore,
   it is pointless in this case as we want to return the value.
 * flags: The only flag is to let userspace continue to execute the
   syscall. This seems pointless, as we want the syscall to return the
   allocated fd.

This is why those fields are not possible to set when using this new
flag.

I don't quite understand this; you don't need a NOTIF_SEND at all

I reworded:

This effectively combines SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND into an atomic opteration. The notification's
return value, nor error can be set by the user. Upon successful invocation
of the SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD ioctl with the SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND
flag, the notifying process's errno will be 0, and the return value will
be the file descriptor number that was installed.

How does that sound?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. This just an argument change which
also passes the notification to the addfd function. The patch is split out
to allow it to be backported to stable.
