From 9a1565a03b79d80b236bc7cc2dbce52a2ef3a1b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Daniel=20P=2E=20Berrang=C3=A9?= Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2019 09:49:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] seccomp: don't kill process for resource control syscalls MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Mesa library tries to set process affinity on some of its threads in order to optimize its performance. Currently this results in QEMU being immediately terminated when seccomp is enabled. Mesa doesn't consider failure of the process affinity settings to be fatal to its operation, but our seccomp policy gives it no choice in gracefully handling this denial. It is reasonable to consider that malicious code using the resource control syscalls to be a less serious attack than if they were trying to spawn processes or change UIDs and other such things. Generally speaking changing the resource control setting will "merely" affect quality of service of processes on the host. With this in mind, rather than kill the process, we can relax the policy for these syscalls to return the EPERM errno value. This allows callers to detect that QEMU does not want them to change resource allocations, and apply some reasonable fallback logic. The main downside to this is for code which uses these syscalls but does not check the return value, blindly assuming they will always succeeed. Returning an errno could result in sub-optimal behaviour. Arguably though such code is already broken & needs fixing regardless. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
