Hi,
The v6 of this patch series include only the type change requested by
Andy on the vdso patch, but since v5 included some bigger changes, I'm
documenting them in this cover letter as well.
Please note this applies on top of Linus tree, and it succeeds seccomp
and syscall user dispatch selftests.
v5 cover letter
--------------
This is v5 of Syscall User Dispatch. It has some big changes in
comparison to v4.
First of all, it allows the vdso trampoline code for architectures that
support it. This is exposed through an arch hook. It also addresses
the concern about what happens when a bad selector is provided, instead
of SIGSEGV, we fail with SIGSYS, which is more debug-able.
Another major change is that it is now based on top of Gleixner's common
syscall entry work, and is supposed to only be used by that code.
Therefore, the entry symbol is not exported outside of kernel/entry/ code.
The biggest change in this version is the attempt to avoid using one of
the final TIF flags on x86 32 bit, without increasing the size of that
variable to 64 bit. My expectation is that, with this work, plus the
removal of TIF_IA32, TIF_X32 and TIF_FORCE_TF, we might be able to avoid
changing this field to 64 bits at all. Instead, this follows the
suggestion by Andy to have a generic TIF flag for SECCOMP and this
mechanism, and use another field to decide which one is enabled. The
code for this is not complex, so it seems like a viable approach.
Finally, this version adds some documentation to the feature.
Kees, I dropped your reviewed-by on patch 5, given the amount of
changes.
Thanks,

2.28.0
Syscall user redirection requires the signal trampoline code to not be
captured, in order to support returning with a locked selector while
avoiding recursion back into the signal handler. For ia-32, which has
the trampoline in the vDSO, expose the entry points to the kernel, such
that it can avoid dispatching syscalls from that region to userspace.

2.28.0
Syscall User Dispatch (SUD) must take precedence over seccomp, since the
use case is emulation (it can be invoked with a different ABI) such that
seccomp filtering by syscall number doesn't make sense in the first
place. In addition, either the syscall is dispatched back to userspace,
in which case there is no resource for seccomp to protect, or the
syscall will be executed, and seccomp will execute next.
Regarding ptrace, I experimented with before and after, and while the
same ABI argument applies, I felt it was easier to debug if I let ptrace
happen for syscalls that are dispatched back to userspace. In addition,
doing it after ptrace makes the code in syscall_exit_work slightly
simpler, since it doesn't require special handling for this feature.

+=====================
+Syscall User Dispatch
+=====================
+
+Background
+----------
+
+Compatibility layers like Wine need a way to efficiently emulate system
+calls of only a part of their process - the part that has the
+incompatible code - while being able to execute native syscalls without
+a high performance penalty on the native part of the process. Seccomp
+falls short on this task, since it has limited support to efficiently
+filter syscalls based on memory regions, and it doesn't support removing
+filters. Therefore a new mechanism is necessary.
+
+Syscall User Dispatch brings the filtering of the syscall dispatcher
+address back to userspace. The application is in control of a flip
+switch, indicating the current personality of the process. A
+multiple-personality application can then flip the switch without
+invoking the kernel, when crossing the compatibility layer API
+boundaries, to enable/disable the syscall redirection and execute
+syscalls directly (disabled) or send them to be emulated in userspace
+through a SIGSYS.
+
+The goal of this design is to provide very quick compatibility layer
+boundary crosses, which is achieved by not executing a syscall to change
+personality every time the compatibility layer executes. Instead, a
+userspace memory region exposed to the kernel indicates the current
+personality, and the application simply modifies that variable to
+configure the mechanism.
+
+There is a relatively high cost associated with handling signals on most
+architectures, like x86, but at least for Wine, syscalls issued by
+native Windows code are currently not known to be a performance problem,
+since they are quite rare, at least for modern gaming applications.
+
+Since this mechanism is designed to capture syscalls issued by
+non-native applications, it must function on syscalls whose invocation
+ABI is completely unexpected to Linux. Syscall User Dispatch, therefore
+doesn't rely on any of the syscall ABI to make the filtering. It uses
+only the syscall dispatcher address and the userspace key.
+
+Interface
+---------
+
+A process can setup this mechanism on supported kernels
+CONFIG_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH) by executing the following prctl:
+
+ prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, <op>, <start_addr>, <end_addr>, [selector])
+
+<op> is either PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON or PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF, to enable and
+disable the mechanism globally for that thread. When
+PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF is used, the other fields must be zero.
+
+<start_addr> and <end_addr> delimit a closed memory region interval from
+which syscalls are always executed directly, regardless of the userspace
+selector. This provides a fast path for the C library, which includes
+the most common syscall dispatchers in the native code applications, and
+also provides a way for the signal handler to return without triggering
+a nested SIGSYS on (rt_)sigreturn. Users of this interface should make
+sure that at least the signal trampoline code is included in this
+region. In addition, for syscalls that implement the trampoline code on
+the vDSO, that trampoline is never intercepted.
+
+[selector] is a pointer to a char-sized region in the process memory
+region, that provides a quick way to enable disable syscall redirection
+thread-wide, without the need to invoke the kernel directly. selector
+can be set to PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON or PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF. Any other
+value should terminate the program with a SIGSYS.
+
+Security Notes
+--------------
+
+Syscall User Dispatch provides functionality for compatibility layers to
+quickly capture system calls issued by a non-native part of the
+application, while not impacting the Linux native regions of the
+process. It is not a mechanism for sandboxing system calls, and it
+should not be seen as a security mechanism, since it is trivial for a
+malicious application to subvert the mechanism by jumping to an allowed
+dispatcher region prior to executing the syscall, or to discover the
+address and modify the selector value. If the use case requires any
+kind of security sandboxing, Seccomp should be used instead.
+
+Any fork or exec of the existing process resets the mechanism to
+PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF.

2.28.0
Implement functionality tests for syscall user dispatch. In order to
make the test portable, refrain from open coding syscall dispatchers and
calculating glibc memory ranges.
Changes since v4:
- Update bad selector test to reflect change in API
Changes since v3:
- Sort entry in Makefile
- Add SPDX header
- Use __NR_syscalls if available

Syscalls that use common entry code (x86 at the moment of this writing)
need to have their defines updated inside this commit. This added a
measureable overhead of 1ns to seccomp_benchmark selftests on a
bare-metal AMD system.

2.28.0
Introduce a mechanism to quickly disable/enable syscall handling for a
specific process and redirect to userspace via SIGSYS. This is useful
for processes with parts that require syscall redirection and parts that
don't, but who need to perform this boundary crossing really fast,
without paying the cost of a system call to reconfigure syscall handling
on each boundary transition. This is particularly important for Windows
games running over Wine.
The proposed interface looks like this:
prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, <op>, <start_addr>, <end_addr>, [selector])
The range [<start_addr>,<end_addr>] is a part of the process memory map
that is allowed to by-pass the redirection code and dispatch syscalls
directly, such that in fast paths a process doesn't need to disable the
trap nor the kernel has to check the selector. This is essential to
return from SIGSYS to a blocked area without triggering another SIGSYS
from rt_sigreturn.
selector is an optional pointer to a char-sized userspace memory region
that has a key switch for the mechanism. This key switch is set to
either PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON, PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF to enable and disable the
redirection without calling the kernel.
The feature is meant to be set per-thread and it is disabled on
fork/clone/execv.
Internally, this doesn't add overhead to the syscall hot path, and it
requires very little per-architecture support. I avoided using seccomp,
even though it duplicates some functionality, due to previous feedback
that maybe it shouldn't mix with seccomp since it is not a security
mechanism. And obviously, this should never be considered a security
mechanism, since any part of the program can by-pass it by using the
syscall dispatcher.
For the sysinfo benchmark, which measures the overhead added to
executing a native syscall that doesn't require interception, the
overhead using only the direct dispatcher region to issue syscalls is
pretty much irrelevant. The overhead of using the selector goes around
40ns for a native (unredirected) syscall in my system, and it is (as
expected) dominated by the supervisor-mode user-address access. In
fact, with SMAP off, the overhead is consistently less than 5ns on my
test box.
An example code using this interface can be found at:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/syscall-disable-personality
Changes since v4:
(Andy Lutomirski)
- Allow sigreturn coming from vDSO
- Exit with SIGSYS instead of SIGSEGV on bad selector
(Thomas Gleixner)
- Use sizeof selector in access_ok
- Document usage of __get_user
- Use constant for state value
- Split out x86 parts
- Rebase on top of Gleixner's common entry code
- Don't expose do_syscall_user_dispatch
Changes since v3:
- NTR.
Changes since v2:
(Matthew Wilcox suggestions)
- Drop __user on non-ptr type.
- Move #define closer to similar defs
- Allow a memory region that can dispatch directly
(Kees Cook suggestions)
- Improve kconfig summary line
- Move flag cleanup on execve to begin_new_exec
- Hint branch predictor in the syscall path
(Me)
- Convert selector to char
Changes since RFC:
(Kees Cook suggestions)
- Don't mention personality while explaining the feature
- Use syscall_get_nr
- Remove header guard on several places
- Convert WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE
- Explicit check for state values
- Rename to syscall user dispatcher

This makes aliases of DISPATCH_OFF and DISPATCH_ON every 4GB throughout
the 64-bit space of arg2. I don't think that was intentional (nor
desirable). I'd suggest just making 'mode' a long and dropping the cast.

If I'd be confined by a seccomp profile that would cause me to be
SIGKILLed when I try do open() I could prctl() myself to do user
dispatch to prevent that from happening, no?

Hey Gabriel,
I think you can drop the pt_regs argument and just have this be
static inline do_syscall_intercept(void)
otherwise

Right, for the case where you're e.g. emulating windows syscalls that's
true. I was thinking when you're running natively on Linux: couldn't I
first load a seccomp profile "kill me if someone does an open()", then
I exec() the target binary and that binary is setup to do
prctl(USER_DISPATCH) first thing. I guess, it's ok because as far as I
had time to read it this is a nothing or all mechanism, i.e. _all_
system calls are re-routed in contrast to e.g. seccomp where I could do
this per-syscall. So for user-dispatch it wouldn't make sense to use it
on Linux per se. Still makes me a little uneasy. :)

Not really, I think. The idea is that you didn’t actually do open(). You did a SYSCALL instruction which meant something else, and the syscall dispatch correctly prevented the kernel from misinterpreting it as open().

There's an escape hatch, so processes using this can still make syscalls.
Maybe think about it another way: a process using user dispatch should
definitely *not* trigger seccomp user notifiers, errno returns, or
ptrace events, since they'll all do the wrong thing. IMO RET_KILL is
the same.
Barring some very severe defect, there's no way a program can use user
dispatch to escape seccomp -- a program could use user dispatch to
allow them to do:
mov $__NR_open, %rax
syscall
without dying despite the presence of a filter that would kill the
process if it tried to do open(), but this doesn't bypass the filter
at all. The process could just as easily have done:
mov $__NR_open
jmp magic_stub(%rip)
without tripping the filter, since no system call actually happens here.

#define _TIF_SYSCALL_INTERCEPT (0)

If you use {offset,size}, instead of {start,end}, you can write the
above like:
if (ip - sd->dispatcher_offset < sd->dispatcher_size)
return 0;
which is just a single branch.

I think I'm with Andy that this should be before ptrace(). ptrace()
users will attempt to interpret things like they're regular syscalls,
and that's definitely not the case.

Is this needed at all? I think simply "the architecture uses the generic
entry code" is sufficient to enable it. (Especially since there's a top
level config for SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, it feels like overkill).

Maybe it is not necessary. The reason I have this is to prevent
architectures migrating to the generic entry code from inadvertently
starting to support this feature, without thinking in advance whether
arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn is needed. If that is not a good reason,
I'm happy to drop it.
