seccomp/cache: Add "emulator" to check if filter is constant allow
SECCOMP_CACHE will only operate on syscalls that do not access
any syscall arguments or instruction pointer. To facilitate
this we need a static analyser to know whether a filter will
return allow regardless of syscall arguments for a given
architecture number / syscall number pair. This is implemented
here with a pseudo-emulator, and stored in a per-filter bitmap.
In order to build this bitmap at filter attach time, each filter is
emulated for every syscall (under each possible architecture), and
checked for any accesses of struct seccomp_data that are not the "arch"
nor "nr" (syscall) members. If only "arch" and "nr" are examined, and
the program returns allow, then we can be sure that the filter must
return allow independent from syscall arguments.
Nearly all seccomp filters are built from these cBPF instructions:
BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_ABS
BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K
BPF_JMP | BPF_JGE | BPF_K
BPF_JMP | BPF_JGT | BPF_K
BPF_JMP | BPF_JSET | BPF_K
BPF_JMP | BPF_JA
BPF_RET | BPF_K
BPF_ALU | BPF_AND | BPF_K
Each of these instructions are emulated. Any weirdness or loading
from a syscall argument will cause the emulator to bail.
The emulation is also halted if it reaches a return. In that case,
if it returns an SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW, the syscall is marked as good.
Emulator structure and comments are from Kees [1] and Jann [2].
Emulation is done at attach time. If a filter depends on more
filters, and if the dependee does not guarantee to allow the
syscall, then we skip the emulation of this syscall.
