New apis don't invalidate old apis necessarily. That's just not going to work in an age where you have containerized workloads. statx() is just the beginning of this. A container may have aritrary seccomp profiles that return ENOSYS or even EPERM for whatever reason for any new api that exists. So not implementing fstat() might already break container workloads. Another example: You can't just skip on implementing mount() and only implement the new mount api for example. Because tools that look for api simplicity and don't need complex setup will _always_ continue to use mount() and have a right to do so. And fwiw, mount() isn't fully inspectable by seccomp since forever. The list goes on and on. But let's look at the original mail. Why are they denying statx() and what's that claim about it not being able to be rewritten to something safe? Looking at: intptr_t SIGSYSFstatatHandler(const struct arch_seccomp_data& args, void* fs_denied_errno) { if (args.nr == __NR_fstatat_default) { if (*reinterpret_cast(args.args[1]) == '\0' && args.args[3] == static_cast(AT_EMPTY_PATH)) { return syscall(__NR_fstat_default, static_cast(args.args[0]), reinterpret_cast(args.args[2])); } return -reinterpret_cast(fs_denied_errno); } What this does it to rewrite fstatat() to fstat() if it was made with AT_EMPTY_PATH and the path argument was "". That is easily doable for statx() because it has the exact same AT_EMPTY_PATH semantics that fstatat() has. Plus, they can even filter on mask and rewrite that to something that they think is safe. For example, STATX_BASIC_STATS which is equivalent to what any fstat() call returns. So it's pretty difficult to understand what their actual gripe with statx() is. It can't be that statx() passes a struct because fstatat() and fstat() do that too. So what exactly is that problem there? What this tells me without knowing the exact reason is that they thought "Oh, if we just return ENOSYS then the workload or glibc will just always be able to fallback to fstat() or fstatat()". Which ultimately is the exact same thing that containers often assume. So really, just skipping on various system calls isn't going to work. You can't just implement new system calls and forget about the rest unless you know exactly what workloads your architecure will run on. Please implement fstat() or fstatat() and stop inventing hacks for statx() to make weird sandboxing rules work, please.
