From d612b1fd8010d0d67b5287fe146b8b55bcbb8655 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2017 04:33:53 +0000 Subject: seccomp: Operation for checking if an action is available Userspace code that needs to check if the kernel supports a given action may not be able to use the /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_avail sysctl. The process may be running in a sandbox and, therefore, sufficient filesystem access may not be available. This patch adds an operation to the seccomp(2) syscall that allows userspace code to ask the kernel if a given action is available. If the action is supported by the kernel, 0 is returned. If the action is not supported by the kernel, -1 is returned with errno set to -EOPNOTSUPP. If this check is attempted on a kernel that doesn't support this new operation, -1 is returned with errno set to -EINVAL meaning that userspace code will have the ability to differentiate between the two error cases.
