Userspace Notification
======================
The ``SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF`` return code lets seccomp filters pass a
particular syscall to userspace to be handled. This may be useful for
applications like container managers, which wish to intercept particular
syscalls (``mount()``, ``finit_module()``, etc.) and change their behavior.
To acquire a notification FD, use the ``SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER``
argument to the ``seccomp()`` syscall:
.. code-block:: c
fd = seccomp(SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER, &prog);
which (on success) will return a listener fd for the filter, which can then be
passed around via ``SCM_RIGHTS`` or similar. Note that filter fds correspond to
a particular filter, and not a particular task. So if this task then forks,
notifications from both tasks will appear on the same filter fd. Reads and
writes to/from a filter fd are also synchronized, so a filter fd can safely
have many readers.
The interface for a seccomp notification fd consists of two structures:
.. code-block:: c
struct seccomp_notif_sizes {
__u16 seccomp_notif;
__u16 seccomp_notif_resp;
__u16 seccomp_data;
};
struct seccomp_notif {
__u64 id;
__u32 pid;
__u32 flags;
struct seccomp_data data;
};
struct seccomp_notif_resp {
__u64 id;
__s64 val;
__s32 error;
__u32 flags;
};
The ``struct seccomp_notif_sizes`` structure can be used to determine the size
of the various structures used in seccomp notifications. The size of ``struct
seccomp_data`` may change in the future, so code should use:
.. code-block:: c
struct seccomp_notif_sizes sizes;
seccomp(SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES, 0, &sizes);
to determine the size of the various structures to allocate. See
samples/seccomp/user-trap.c for an example.
Users can read via ``ioctl(SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV)`` (or ``poll()``) on a
seccomp notification fd to receive a ``struct seccomp_notif``, which contains
five members: the input length of the structure, a unique-per-filter ``id``,
the ``pid`` of the task which triggered this request (which may be 0 if the
task is in a pid ns not visible from the listener's pid namespace), a ``flags``
member which for now only has ``SECCOMP_NOTIF_FLAG_SIGNALED``, representing
whether or not the notification is a result of a non-fatal signal, and the
``data`` passed to seccomp. Userspace can then make a decision based on this
information about what to do, and ``ioctl(SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND)`` a
response, indicating what should be returned to userspace. The ``id`` member of
``struct seccomp_notif_resp`` should be the same ``id`` as in ``struct
seccomp_notif``.
It is worth noting that ``struct seccomp_data`` contains the values of register
arguments to the syscall, but does not contain pointers to memory. The task's
memory is accessible to suitably privileged traces via ``ptrace()`` or
``/proc/pid/mem``. However, care should be taken to avoid the TOCTOU mentioned
above in this document: all arguments being read from the tracee's memory
should be read into the tracer's memory before any policy decisions are made.
This allows for an atomic decision on syscall arguments.
