[PATCH 0/6 v4] seccomp: add the synchronous mode for seccomp_unotify
Posted by Andrei Vagin 2 years, 7 months ago
From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@gmail.com>

seccomp_unotify allows more privileged processes do actions on behalf
of less privileged processes.

In many cases, the workflow is fully synchronous. It means a target
process triggers a system call and passes controls to a supervisor
process that handles the system call and returns controls back to the
target process. In this context, "synchronous" means that only one
process is running and another one is waiting.

The new WF_CURRENT_CPU flag advises the scheduler to move the wakee to
the current CPU. For such synchronous workflows, it makes context
switches a few times faster.

Right now, each interaction takes 12µs. With this patch, it takes about
3µs.

v2: clean up the first patch and add the test.
v3: update commit messages and a few fixes suggested by Kees Cook.
v4: update the third patch to avoid code duplications (suggested by
    Peter Zijlstra)
    Add the benchmark to the perf bench set.

Kees is ready to take this patch set, but wants to get Acks from the
sched folks.

Is attributing your personal email intentional, or is user.email in your git config
misconfigured?  Quite a few folks use non-corp accounts, but I don't think I've
ever seen a case where someone intentionally posts from their corp email on behalf
of a personal account.

I don't mean to be the SoB police, this just stood out as being very odd.

I was more often working on kernel changes unrelated to my work at
Google. They were around the CRIU project. It is why I used my personal
email in the kernel git config. I will fix that.

Thanks,
