-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This page describes the user-space notification mechanism provided by the
-Secure Computing (seccomp) facility.
-As well as the use of the
-.B SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER
-flag, the
-.B SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
-action value, and the
-.B SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES
-operation described in
-.BR seccomp (2),
-this mechanism involves the use of a number of related
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operations (described below).
-.\"
-.SS Overview
-In conventional usage of a seccomp filter,
-the decision about how to treat a system call is made by the filter itself.
-By contrast, the user-space notification mechanism allows
-the seccomp filter to delegate
-the handling of the system call to another user-space process.
-Note that this mechanism is explicitly
-.B not
-intended as a method implementing security policy; see NOTES.
-.P
-In the discussion that follows,
-the thread(s) on which the seccomp filter is installed is (are)
-referred to as the
-.IR target ,
-and the process that is notified by the user-space notification
-mechanism is referred to as the
-.IR supervisor .
-.P
-A suitably privileged supervisor can use the user-space notification
-mechanism to perform actions on behalf of the target.
-The advantage of the user-space notification mechanism is that
-the supervisor will
-usually be able to retrieve information about the target and the
-performed system call that the seccomp filter itself cannot.
-(A seccomp filter is limited in the information it can obtain and
-the actions that it can perform because it
-is running on a virtual machine inside the kernel.)
-.P
-An overview of the steps performed by the target and the supervisor
-is as follows:
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (1) 5
-The target establishes a seccomp filter in the usual manner,
-but with two differences:
-.RS
-.IP \[bu] 3
-The
-.BR seccomp (2)
-.I flags
-argument includes the flag
-.BR SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER .
-Consequently, the return value of the (successful)
-.BR seccomp (2)
-call is a new "listening"
-file descriptor that can be used to receive notifications.
-Only one "listening" seccomp filter can be installed for a thread.
-.\" FIXME
-.\" Is the last sentence above correct?
-.\"
-.\" Kees Cook (25 Oct 2020) notes:
-.\"
-.\" I like this limitation, but I expect that it'll need to change in the
-.\" future. Even with LSMs, we see the need for arbitrary stacking, and the
-.\" idea of there being only 1 supervisor will eventually break down. Right
-.\" now there is only 1 because only container managers are using this
-.\" feature. But if some daemon starts using it to isolate some thread,
-.\" suddenly it might break if a container manager is trying to listen to it
-.\" too, etc. I expect it won't be needed soon, but I do think it'll change.
-.\"
-.IP \[bu]
-In cases where it is appropriate, the seccomp filter returns the action value
-.BR SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF .
-This return value will trigger a notification event.
-.RE
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (2)
-In order that the supervisor can obtain notifications
-using the listening file descriptor,
-(a duplicate of) that file descriptor must be passed from
-the target to the supervisor.
-One way in which this could be done is by passing the file descriptor
-over a UNIX domain socket connection between the target and the supervisor
-(using the
-.B SCM_RIGHTS
-ancillary message type described in
-.BR unix (7)).
-Another way to do this is through the use of
-.BR pidfd_getfd (2).
-.\" Jann Horn:
-.\" Instead of using unix domain sockets to send the fd to the
-.\" parent, I think you could also use clone3() with
-.\" flags==CLONE_FILES|SIGCHLD, dup2() the seccomp fd to an fd
-.\" that was reserved in the parent, call unshare(CLONE_FILES)
-.\" in the child after setting up the seccomp fd, and wake
-.\" up the parent with something like pthread_cond_signal()?
-.\" I'm not sure whether that'd look better or worse in the
-.\" end though, so maybe just ignore this comment.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (3)
-The supervisor will receive notification events
-on the listening file descriptor.
-These events are returned as structures of type
-.IR seccomp_notif .
-Because this structure and its size may evolve over kernel versions,
-the supervisor must first determine the size of this structure
-using the
-.BR seccomp (2)
-.B SECCOMP_GET_NOTIF_SIZES
-operation, which returns a structure of type
-.IR seccomp_notif_sizes .
-The supervisor allocates a buffer of size
-.I seccomp_notif_sizes.seccomp_notif
-bytes to receive notification events.
-In addition,the supervisor allocates another buffer of size
-.I seccomp_notif_sizes.seccomp_notif_resp
-bytes for the response (a
-.I struct seccomp_notif_resp
-structure)
-that it will provide to the kernel (and thus the target).
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (4)
-The target then performs its workload,
-which includes system calls that will be controlled by the seccomp filter.
-Whenever one of these system calls causes the filter to return the
-.B SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
-action value, the kernel does
-.I not
-(yet) execute the system call;
-instead, execution of the target is temporarily blocked inside
-the kernel (in a sleep state that is interruptible by signals)
-and a notification event is generated on the listening file descriptor.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (5)
-The supervisor can now repeatedly monitor the
-listening file descriptor for
-.BR SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF -triggered
-events.
-To do this, the supervisor uses the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation to read information about a notification event;
-this operation blocks until an event is available.
-The operation returns a
-.I seccomp_notif
-structure containing information about the system call
-that is being attempted by the target.
-(As described in NOTES,
-the file descriptor can also be monitored with
-.BR select (2),
-.BR poll (2),
-or
-.BR epoll (7).)
-.\" FIXME
-.\" Christian Brauner:
-.\"
-.\" Do we support O_NONBLOCK with SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV and if
-.\" not should we?
-.\"
-.\" Michael Kerrisk:
-.\"
-.\" A quick test suggests that O_NONBLOCK has no effect on the blocking
-.\" behavior of SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV.
-.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (6)
-The
-.I seccomp_notif
-structure returned by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation includes the same information (a
-.I seccomp_data
-structure) that was passed to the seccomp filter.
-This information allows the supervisor to discover the system call number and
-the arguments for the target's system call.
-In addition, the notification event contains the ID of the thread
-that triggered the notification and a unique cookie value that
-is used in subsequent
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-and
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND
-operations.
-.IP
-The information in the notification can be used to discover the
-values of pointer arguments for the target's system call.
-(This is something that can't be done from within a seccomp filter.)
-One way in which the supervisor can do this is to open the corresponding
-.IR /proc/ tid /mem
-file (see
-.BR proc (5))
-and read bytes from the location that corresponds to one of
-the pointer arguments whose value is supplied in the notification event.
-.\" Tycho Andersen mentioned that there are alternatives to /proc/PID/mem,
-.\" such as ptrace() and /proc/PID/map_files
-(The supervisor must be careful to avoid
-a race condition that can occur when doing this;
-see the description of the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation below.)
-In addition,
-the supervisor can access other system information that is visible
-in user space but which is not accessible from a seccomp filter.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (7)
-Having obtained information as per the previous step,
-the supervisor may then choose to perform an action in response
-to the target's system call
-(which, as noted above, is not executed when the seccomp filter returns the
-.B SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
-action value).
-.IP
-One example use case here relates to containers.
-The target may be located inside a container where
-it does not have sufficient capabilities to mount a filesystem
-in the container's mount namespace.
-However, the supervisor may be a more privileged process that
-does have sufficient capabilities to perform the mount operation.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (8)
-The supervisor then sends a response to the notification.
-The information in this response is used by the kernel to construct
-a return value for the target's system call and provide
-a value that will be assigned to the
-.I errno
-variable of the target.
-.IP
-The response is sent using the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation, which is used to transmit a
-.I seccomp_notif_resp
-structure to the kernel.
-This structure includes a cookie value that the supervisor obtained in the
-.I seccomp_notif
-structure returned by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation.
-This cookie value allows the kernel to associate the response with the
-target.
-This structure must include the cookie value that the supervisor
-obtained in the
-.I seccomp_notif
-structure returned by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation;
-the cookie allows the kernel to associate the response with the target.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.IP (9)
-Once the notification has been sent,
-the system call in the target thread unblocks,
-returning the information that was provided by the supervisor
-in the notification response.
-.\"-------------------------------------
-.P
-As a variation on the last two steps,
-the supervisor can send a response that tells the kernel that it
-should execute the target thread's system call; see the discussion of
-.BR SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE ,
-below.
-.\"
-.SH IOCTL OPERATIONS
-The following
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operations are supported by the seccomp user-space
-notification file descriptor.
-For each of these operations, the first (file descriptor) argument of
-.BR ioctl (2)
-is the listening file descriptor returned by a call to
-.BR seccomp (2)
-with the
-.B SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER
-flag.
-.\"
-.SS SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-The
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation (available since Linux 5.0) is used to obtain a user-space
-notification event.
-If no such event is currently pending,
-the operation blocks until an event occurs.
-The third
-.BR ioctl (2)
-argument is a pointer to a structure of the following form
-which contains information about the event.
-This structure must be zeroed out before the call.

-.B ENOENT
-The target thread was killed by a signal as the notification information
-was being generated,

-.\" FIXME
-.\" From my experiments,

-.\"
-.SS SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-The
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-operation (available since Linux 5.0) is used to check that a notification ID
-returned by an earlier
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation is still valid
-(i.e., that the target still exists and its system call
-is still blocked waiting for a response).
-.P
-The third
-.BR ioctl (2)
-argument is a pointer to the cookie
-.RI ( id )
-returned by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation.
-.P
-This operation is necessary to avoid race conditions that can occur when the
-.I pid
-returned by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-operation terminates, and that process ID is reused by another process.
-An example of this kind of race is the following
-.IP (1) 5
-A notification is generated on the listening file descriptor.
-The returned
-.I seccomp_notif
-contains the TID of the target thread (in the
-.I pid
-field of the structure).
-.IP (2)
-The target terminates.
-.IP (3)
-Another thread or process is created on the system that by chance reuses the
-TID that was freed when the target terminated.
-.IP (4)
-The supervisor
-.BR open (2)s
-the
-.IR /proc/ tid /mem
-file for the TID obtained in step 1, with the intention of (say)
-inspecting the memory location(s) that containing the argument(s) of
-the system call that triggered the notification in step 1.
-.P
-In the above scenario, the risk is that the supervisor may try
-to access the memory of a process other than the target.
-This race can be avoided by following the call to
-.BR open (2)
-with a
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-operation to verify that the process that generated the notification
-is still alive.
-(Note that if the target terminates after the latter step,
-a subsequent
-.BR read (2)
-from the file descriptor may return 0, indicating end of file.)

-.EE
-.SH NOTES
-One example use case for the user-space notification
-mechanism is to allow a container manager
-(a process which is typically running with more privilege than
-the processes inside the container)
-to mount block devices or create device nodes for the container.
-The mount use case provides an example of where the
-.B SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation is useful.
-Upon receiving a notification for the
-.BR mount (2)
-system call, the container manager (the "supervisor") can distinguish
-a request to mount a block filesystem
-(which would not be possible for a "target" process inside the container)
-and mount that file system.
-If, on the other hand, the container manager detects that the operation
-could be performed by the process inside the container
-(e.g., a mount of a
-.BR tmpfs (5)
-filesystem), it can notify the kernel that the target process's
-.BR mount (2)
-system call can continue.
-.\"
-.SS select()/poll()/epoll semantics
-The file descriptor returned when
-.BR seccomp (2)
-is employed with the
-.B SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER
-flag can be monitored using
-.BR poll (2),
-.BR epoll (7),
-and
-.BR select (2).
-These interfaces indicate that the file descriptor is ready as follows:
-.IP \[bu] 3
-When a notification is pending,
-these interfaces indicate that the file descriptor is readable.
-Following such an indication, a subsequent
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-.BR ioctl (2)
-will not block, returning either information about a notification
-or else failing with the error
-.B EINTR
-if the target has been killed by a signal or its system call
-has been interrupted by a signal handler.
-.IP \[bu]
-After the notification has been received (i.e., by the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation), these interfaces indicate that the file descriptor is writable,
-meaning that a notification response can be sent using the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation.
-.IP \[bu]
-After the last thread using the filter has terminated and been reaped using
-.BR waitpid (2)
-(or similar),
-the file descriptor indicates an end-of-file condition (readable in
-.BR select (2);
-.BR POLLHUP / EPOLLHUP
-in
-.BR poll (2)/
-.BR epoll_wait (2)).
-.SS Design goals; use of SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE
-The intent of the user-space notification feature is
-to allow system calls to be performed on behalf of the target.
-The target's system call should either be handled by the supervisor or
-allowed to continue normally in the kernel (where standard security
-policies will be applied).
-.P
-.BR "Note well" :
-this mechanism must not be used to make security policy decisions
-about the system call,
-which would be inherently race-prone for reasons described next.
-.P
-The
-.B SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE
-flag must be used with caution.
-If set by the supervisor, the target's system call will continue.
-However, there is a time-of-check, time-of-use race here,
-since an attacker could exploit the interval of time where the target is
-blocked waiting on the "continue" response to do things such as
-rewriting the system call arguments.
-.P
-Note furthermore that a user-space notifier can be bypassed if
-the existing filters allow the use of
-.BR seccomp (2)
-or
-.BR prctl (2)
-to install a filter that returns an action value with a higher precedence than
-.B SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
-(see
-.BR seccomp (2)).
-.P
-It should thus be absolutely clear that the
-seccomp user-space notification mechanism
-.B can not
-be used to implement a security policy!
-It should only ever be used in scenarios where a more privileged process
-supervises the system calls of a lesser privileged target to
-get around kernel-enforced security restrictions when
-the supervisor deems this safe.
-In other words,
-in order to continue a system call, the supervisor should be sure that
-another security mechanism or the kernel itself will sufficiently block
-the system call if its arguments are rewritten to something unsafe.
-.\"
-.SS Caveats regarding the use of \fI/proc/\fPtid\fI/mem\fP
-The discussion above noted the need to use the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-.BR ioctl (2)
-when opening the
-.IR /proc/ tid /mem
-file of the target
-to avoid the possibility of accessing the memory of the wrong process
-in the event that the target terminates and its ID
-is recycled by another (unrelated) thread.
-However, the use of this
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation is also necessary in other situations,
-as explained in the following paragraphs.
-.P
-Consider the following scenario, where the supervisor
-tries to read the pathname argument of a target's blocked
-.BR mount (2)
-system call:
-.IP (1) 5
-From one of its functions
-.RI ( func() ),
-the target calls
-.BR mount (2),
-which triggers a user-space notification and causes the target to block.
-.IP (2)
-The supervisor receives the notification, opens
-.IR /proc/ tid /mem ,
-and (successfully) performs the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-check.
-.IP (3)
-The target receives a signal, which causes the
-.BR mount (2)
-to abort.
-.IP (4)
-The signal handler executes in the target, and returns.
-.IP (5)
-Upon return from the handler, the execution of
-.I func()
-resumes, and it returns (and perhaps other functions are called,
-overwriting the memory that had been used for the stack frame of
-.IR func() ).
-.IP (6)
-Using the address provided in the notification information,
-the supervisor reads from the target's memory location that used to
-contain the pathname.
-.IP (7)
-The supervisor now calls
-.BR mount (2)
-with some arbitrary bytes obtained in the previous step.
-.P
-The conclusion from the above scenario is this:
-since the target's blocked system call may be interrupted by a signal handler,
-the supervisor must be written to expect that the
-target may abandon its system call at
-.B any
-time;
-in such an event, any information that the supervisor obtained from
-the target's memory must be considered invalid.
-.P
-To prevent such scenarios,
-every read from the target's memory must be separated from use of
-the bytes so obtained by a
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-check.
-In the above example, the check would be placed between the two final steps.
-An example of such a check is shown in EXAMPLES.
-.P
-Following on from the above, it should be clear that
-a write by the supervisor into the target's memory can
-.B never
-be considered safe.
-.\"
-.SS Caveats regarding blocking system calls
-Suppose that the target performs a blocking system call (e.g.,
-.BR accept (2))
-that the supervisor should handle.
-The supervisor might then in turn execute the same blocking system call.
-.P
-In this scenario,
-it is important to note that if the target's system call is now
-interrupted by a signal, the supervisor is
-.I not
-informed of this.
-If the supervisor does not take suitable steps to
-actively discover that the target's system call has been canceled,
-various difficulties can occur.
-Taking the example of
-.BR accept (2),
-the supervisor might remain blocked in its
-.BR accept (2)
-holding a port number that the target
-(which, after the interruption by the signal handler,
-perhaps closed its listening socket) might expect to be able to reuse in a
-.BR bind (2)
-call.
-.P
-Therefore, when the supervisor wishes to emulate a blocking system call,
-it must do so in such a way that it gets informed if the target's
-system call is interrupted by a signal handler.
-For example, if the supervisor itself executes the same
-blocking system call, then it could employ a separate thread
-that uses the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID
-operation to check if the target is still blocked in its system call.
-Alternatively, in the
-.BR accept (2)
-example, the supervisor might use
-.BR poll (2)
-to monitor both the notification file descriptor
-(so as to discover when the target's
-.BR accept (2)
-call has been interrupted) and the listening file descriptor
-(so as to know when a connection is available).
-.P
-If the target's system call is interrupted,
-the supervisor must take care to release resources (e.g., file descriptors)
-that it acquired on behalf of the target.
-.\"
-.SS Interaction with SA_RESTART signal handlers
-Consider the following scenario:
-.IP (1) 5
-The target process has used
-.BR sigaction (2)
-to install a signal handler with the
-.B SA_RESTART
-flag.
-.IP (2)
-The target has made a system call that triggered a seccomp
-user-space notification and the target is currently blocked
-until the supervisor sends a notification response.
-.IP (3)
-A signal is delivered to the target and the signal handler is executed.
-.IP (4)
-When (if) the supervisor attempts to send a notification response, the
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND
-.BR ioctl (2))
-operation will fail with the
-.B ENOENT
-error.
-.P
-In this scenario, the kernel will restart the target's system call.
-Consequently, the supervisor will receive another user-space notification.
-Thus, depending on how many times the blocked system call
-is interrupted by a signal handler,
-the supervisor may receive multiple notifications for
-the same instance of a system call in the target.
-.P
-One oddity is that system call restarting as described in this scenario
-will occur even for the blocking system calls listed in
-.BR signal (7)
-that would
-.B never
-normally be restarted by the
-.B SA_RESTART
-flag.
-.\" FIXME
-.\" About the above, Kees Cook commented:
-.\"
-.\" Does this need fixing? I imagine the correct behavior for this case
-.\" would be a response to _SEND of EINPROGRESS and the target would see
-.\" EINTR normally?
-.\"
-.\" I mean, it's not like seccomp doesn't already expose weirdness with

-.\" FIXME
-.\" Michael Kerrisk:
-.\" I wonder about the effect of this oddity for system calls that

-.\" understanding is that the kernel doesn't restart those system
-.\" calls because it's impossible for the kernel to restart the call

-.P
-Furthermore, if the supervisor response is a file descriptor
-added with
-.BR SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD ,
-then the flag
-.B SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND
-can be used to atomically add the file descriptor and return that value,
-making sure no file descriptors are inadvertently leaked into the target.
-.SH BUGS
-If a
-.B SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV
-.BR ioctl (2)
-operation
-.\" or a poll/epoll/select
-is performed after the target terminates, then the

-.SH EXAMPLES
-The (somewhat contrived) program shown below demonstrates the use of
-the interfaces described in this page.
-The program creates a child process that serves as the "target" process.
-The child process installs a seccomp filter that returns the
-.B SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
-action value if a call is made to
-.BR mkdir (2).
-The child process then calls
-.BR mkdir (2)
-once for each of the supplied command-line arguments,
-and reports the result returned by the call.
-After processing all arguments, the child process terminates.
-.P
-The parent process acts as the supervisor, listening for the notifications
-that are generated when the target process calls
-.BR mkdir (2).
-When such a notification occurs,
-the supervisor examines the memory of the target process (using
-.IR /proc/ pid /mem )
-to discover the pathname argument that was supplied to the
-.BR mkdir (2)
-call, and performs one of the following actions:
-.IP \[bu] 3
-If the pathname begins with the prefix "/tmp/",
-then the supervisor attempts to create the specified directory,
-and then spoofs a return for the target process based on the return
-value of the supervisor's
-.BR mkdir (2)
-call.
-In the event that that call succeeds,
-the spoofed success return value is the length of the pathname.
-.IP \[bu]
-If the pathname begins with "./" (i.e., it is a relative pathname),
-the supervisor sends a
-.B SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF_FLAG_CONTINUE
-response to the kernel to say that the kernel should execute
-the target process's
-.BR mkdir (2)
-call.
-.IP \[bu]
-If the pathname begins with some other prefix,
-the supervisor spoofs an error return for the target process,
-so that the target process's
-.BR mkdir (2)
-call appears to fail with the error
-.B EOPNOTSUPP
-("Operation not supported").
-Additionally, if the specified pathname is exactly "/bye",
-then the supervisor terminates.
-.P
-This program can be used to demonstrate various aspects of the
-behavior of the seccomp user-space notification mechanism.
-To help aid such demonstrations,
-the program logs various messages to show the operation
-of the target process (lines prefixed "T:") and the supervisor
-(indented lines prefixed "S:").
-.P
-In the following example, the target attempts to create the directory
-.IR /tmp/x .
-Upon receiving the notification, the supervisor creates the directory on the
-target's behalf,
-and spoofs a success return to be received by the target process's
-.BR mkdir (2)
-call.
