Syscall user dispatch makes it possible to cleanly intercept system calls from user-land. However, most transparent checkpoint software presently leverages some combination of ptrace and system call injection to place software in a ready-to-checkpoint state.
If Syscall User Dispatch is enabled at the time of being quiesced, injected system calls will subsequently be interposed upon and dispatched to the task's signal handler.
This patch set implements 3 features to enable software such as CRIU to cleanly interpose upon software leveraging syscall user dispatch.
- Implement PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, akin to a similar feature for SECCOMP. This allows a ptracer to temporarily disable syscall user dispatch, making syscall injection possible.
- Implement an fs/proc extension that reports whether Syscall User Dispatch is being used in proc/status. A similar value is present for SECCOMP, and is used to determine whether special logic is needed during checkpoint/resume.
- Implement a getter interface for Syscall User Dispatch config info. To resume successfully, the checkpoint/resume software has to save and restore this information. Presently this configuration is write-only, with no way for C/R software to save it.

Adds PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH to ptrace options, and modify Syscall User Dispatch to suspend interception when enabled.
This is modeled after the SUSPEND_SECCOMP feature, which suspends SECCOMP interposition. Without doing this, software like CRIU will inject system calls into a process and be intercepted by Syscall User Dispatch, either causing a crash (due to blocked signals) or the delivery of those signals to a ptracer (not the intended behavior).
Since Syscall User Dispatch is not a privileged feature, a check for permissions is not required, however attempting to set this option when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE it not supported should be disallowed, as its intended use is checkpoint/resume.

So by making syscall_user_dispatch() return false, we'll make syscall_trace_enter() continue to handle things, and supposedly you want to land in ptrace_report_syscall_entry(), right?

Should setting this then not also depend on having SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_TRACE set? Because without that, you get 'funny' things.
If a dispatch selector has been configured for Syscall User Dispatch, report Syscall User Dispath as configured in proc/status.
This provides an indicator to userland checkpoint/restart software that it must manage special signal conditions (similar to SECCOMP)

This patch implements simple getter interface for syscall user dispatch configuration info.
To support checkpoint/resume of a syscall user dispatch process, the prctl settings for syscall user dispatch must be fetchable. Presently, these settings are write-only, making it impossible to implement transparent checkpoint (coordination with the software is required).
As Syscall User Dispatch is explicitly not for secure-container development, exposing the configuration state via prctl does not violate the original design intent.

Thank you for the feedback.
I think you're right. A Ptrace for this seems more in-line with the SECCOMP filter exporting that CRIU uses too.
I'll look at implementing that instead.
