[PATCH RFC v8 08/10] namei: resolveat(2) syscall

[Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>]

The most obvious syscall to add support for the new LOOKUP_* scoping
flags would be openat(2) (along with the required execveat(2) change
included in this series). However, there are a few reasons to not do
this:

 * The new LOOKUP_* flags are intended to be security features, and
   openat(2) will silently ignore all unknown flags. This means that
   users would need to avoid foot-gunning themselves constantly when
   using this interface if it were part of openat(2).

 * Resolution scoping feels like a different operation to the existing
   O_* flags. And since openat(2) has limited flag space, it seems to be
   quite wasteful to clutter it with 5 flags that are all
   resolution-related. Arguably O_NOFOLLOw is also a resolution flag but
   its entire purpose is to error out if you encounter a trailing
   symlink not to scope resolution.

 * Other systems would be able to reimplement this syscall allowing for
   cross-OS standardisation rather than being hidden amongst O_* flags
   which may result in it not being used by all the parties that might
   want to use it (file servers, web servers, container runtimes, etc).

 * It gives us the opportunity to iterate on the O_PATH interface. In
   particular, the RESOLVE_UPGRADE_* flags are only possible because we
   have a clean slate without needing to re-use the ACC_MODE flag
   design.

To this end, we introduce the resolveat(2) syscall. At the moment it's
effectively another way of getting a bog-standard O_PATH descriptor but
with the ability to use the new LOOKUP_* flags. Following the example of
other new file-handle-creation syscalls (pidfds, seccomp notify fds) we
default to O_CLOEXEC and users can unset O_CLOEXEC using fcntl(2) if
they really want to.

Because resolveat(2) only provides the ability to get O_PATH
descriptors, users will need to get creative with /proc/self/fd in order
to get a usable file descriptor for other uses. However, the new
addition of O_EMPTYPATH shortcuts this problem and allows for easy usage
of the new LOOKUP_* flags with openat(2) without cluttering the open(2)
flag bits.

In order to allow for userspace to lock down their usage of file
descriptor re-opening, resolveat(2) has flags (RESOLVE_UPGRADE_*) which
allow users to disallow certain re-opening modes.
