v5: automated test for !defined(GENERIC_ENTRY) failed, fix fs/proc
use ifdef for GENERIC_ENTRY || TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH
note: syscall user dispatch is not presently supported for
non-generic entry, but could be implemented. question is
whether the TIF_ define should be carved out now or then
v4: Whitespace
s/CHECKPOINT_RESTART/CHECKPOINT_RESUME
check test_syscall_work(SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH) to determine if it's
turned on or not in fs/proc/array and getter interface
v3: Kernel test robot static function fix
Whitespace nitpicks
v2: Implements the getter/setter interface in ptrace rather than prctl
Syscall user dispatch makes it possible to cleanly intercept system
calls from user-land. However, most transparent checkpoint software
presently leverages some combination of ptrace and system call
injection to place software in a ready-to-checkpoint state.
If Syscall User Dispatch is enabled at the time of being quiesced,
injected system calls will subsequently be interposed upon and
dispatched to the task's signal handler.
This patch set implements 3 features to enable software such as CRIU
to cleanly interpose upon software leveraging syscall user dispatch.
- Implement PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, akin to a similar
feature for SECCOMP. This allows a ptracer to temporarily disable
syscall user dispatch, making syscall injection possible.
- Implement an fs/proc extension that reports whether Syscall User
Dispatch is being used in proc/status. A similar value is present
for SECCOMP, and is used to determine whether special logic is
needed during checkpoint/resume.
- Implement a getter interface for Syscall User Dispatch config info.
To resume successfully, the checkpoint/resume software has to
save and restore this information. Presently this configuration
is write-only, with no way for C/R software to save it.
This was done in ptrace because syscall user dispatch is not part of
uapi. The syscall_user_dispatch_config structure was added to the
ptrace exports.

2.39.0
Adds PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH to ptrace options, and
modify Syscall User Dispatch to suspend interception when enabled.
This is modeled after the SUSPEND_SECCOMP feature, which suspends
SECCOMP interposition. Without doing this, software like CRIU will
inject system calls into a process and be intercepted by Syscall
User Dispatch, either causing a crash (due to blocked signals) or
the delivery of those signals to a ptracer (not the intended behavior).
Since Syscall User Dispatch is not a privileged feature, a check
for permissions is not required, however attempting to set this
option when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE it not supported should be
disallowed, as its intended use is checkpoint/resume.

Implement ptrace getter/setter interface for syscall user dispatch.
Presently, these settings are write-only via prctl, making it impossible
to implement transparent checkpoint (coordination with the software is
required).
This is modeled after a similar interface for SECCOMP, which can have
its configuration dumped by ptrace for software like CRIU.

Stupid question...
Why do we need 2/3 (which reports SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH in proc/pid/status) then?

Actually a good question.
My original though was: CRIU uses proc/status to determine whether to
use seccomp dumping, so i may as well implement the same thing.
On further thought, I think you're right. We can just always read and
set these settings regardless of the original state because SUD is not
seccomp.
1. if GENERIC_ENTRY is not compiled, and TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH is
not available, these settings get ignored anyway.
2. if disabled, offset/len/selector is guaranteed to be off
3. if you try to set something other than the above then this will fail
anyway (see: set_syscall_user_dispatch)
ergo
4. It's always say to read/write these settings. As with anything else
you can certainly cause the user program to crash by setting garbage
but that's to be expected.
So i think dropping 2/3 in the list is good. If you concur i'll do
that.

Sorry, I didn't notice this in the previous version. on_dispatch looks
like an internal
property and I don't see how we can stop a process with ptrace when on_dispatch
is set to a non-zero value. I am not sure that we need to expose it to
user-space.
Other than that, the patch looks good to me.

I tried tracing down the exit routes, but wasn't sure if there was a
no-return somewhere in the stack i hadn't accounted for, so i left it in
just in case.
I'll take one more look then i'll drop it before shipping out a v6.
May I add your Reviewed-by?

I'm actually going to walk my agreement back.
After one more review, the need for the proc/status entry is not to
decide whether to dump SUD settings, but for use in deciding whether to
set the SUSPEND_SYSCALL_DISPATCH option from patch 1/3.
For SECCOMP, CRIU's `compel` does the following:
1. ptrace attach / halt
2. examine proc/status for seccomp usage
3. if seccomp in use, set PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP
4. proceed with further operations
The same pattern would be used for syscall dispatch.
Technically I think setting the flag unconditionally would be safe, but
it would lead to unclear system state (i.e. did i actually suspend
something? was the process actually using it?)
To me it seems better to leave it explicit and keep the second commit.
Thoughts?
(cc: @avagin if you happen to have any input on this particular pattern)

Rather than read /proc/pid/status, CRIU can just do
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH_CONFIG unconditionally
and check syscall_user_dispatch_config.mode ?
Why do want to expose SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH in /proc/status? If this task
is not stopped you can't trust this value anyway. If it is stopped, I don't
think ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH_CONFIG) is slower than reading
/proc.
but perhaps I missed something?

Because information about seccomp was in /proc/pid/status forever and we
started using it before the ptrace interface was merged. I am not sure that
this is the only reason, but it is definitely one of them.
