Good idea; I was unhappy with this name too.

That certainly seems plausible, but for the moment, I want to keep nnp near seccomp, since that's where we have a race. > This bit: > > /* If we have a seccomp mode, enable the thread flag. */ > if (p->seccomp.mode != SECCOMP_MODE_DISABLED) > set_tsk_thread_flag(p, TIF_SECCOMP); > > is not quite obvious to me -- it's not obvious why it's needed.

I've expanded the comment; it's the same issue as nnp: seccomp could have changed, so if we gained a mode, we need to set the flag too. > SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_MASK seems backwards to me. Maybe rename it to > SECCOMP_FILTER_ALLOWED_FLAGS and invert it? Excellent point. Other kernel users of the _MASK name aren't inverted.

Done, though I used a BUG_ON since the compiler will optimize it out (since it's an impossible state to be in). > In seccomp_prepare_user_filter, would it make sense to return -EINVAL > if !user_filter?

I can't do this since EFAULT is already used to detect seccomp capabilities from userspace. > Once James picks this up, I'll rebase my series on top of it. I think > they'll conflict slightly. It's not bad. I tripped over sd -> sd_local and the related sd vs &sd in the SK_RUN_FILTER call, but otherwise it was pretty trivial. > Feel free to add my Reviewed-by to the whole series except the ARM and > MIPS patches.
