arch: Wire up Landlock syscalls
linuxcommit 17ae69aba89dbfa2139b7f8024b757ab3cc42f59
Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of ... jmorris/linux-security
Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. The goal of
Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem
access) for a set of processes. Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but
instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule
can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according
to the kernel semantic.
new syscall to change the properties of a mount or a mount tree using

m68k: Wire up clone3() syscall
this extends commit 5a105f19b5, removing
timer[fd]_settime and timer[fd]_gettime. the timerfd ones are likely
to have been used in software that started using them before it could
rely on libc exposing functions.
some nontrivial number of applications have historically performed
direct syscalls for these operations rather than using the public
functions. such usage is invalid now that time_t is 64-bit and these
syscalls no longer match the types they are used with, and it was
already harmful before (by suppressing use of vdso).
since syscall() has no type safety, incorrect usage of these syscalls
can't be caught at compile-time. so, without manually inspecting or
running additional tools to check sources, the risk of such errors
slipping through is high.
this patch renames the syscalls on 32-bit archs to clock_gettime32 and
gettimeofday_time32, so that applications using the original names
will fail to build without being fixed.
note that there are a number of other syscalls that may also be unsafe
to use directly after the time64 switchover, but (1) these are the
main two that seem to be in widespread use, and (2) most of the others
continue to have valid usage with a null timeval/timespec argument, as
the argument is an optional timeout or similar.
the syscall numbers were reserved in v5.3 but not wired up on mips, see

uapi, x86: Fix the syscall numbering of the mount API syscalls [ver #2]
linux commit d8076bdb56af5e5918376cd1573a6b0007fc1a89
uapi: Wire up the mount API syscalls on non-x86 arches [ver #2]
syscall numbers are now synced up across targets (starting from 403 the
numbers are the same on all targets other than an arch specific offset)
IPC syscalls sem*, shm*, msg* got added where they were missing (except
for semop: only semtimedop got added), the new semctl, shmctl, msgctl
imply IPC_64, see
linux commit 0d6040d4681735dfc47565de288525de405a5c99

Add io_uring IO interface
linux commit edafccee56ff31678a091ddb7219aba9b28bc3cb
io_uring: add support for pre-mapped user IO buffers
a new syscall got added that uses the fd of /proc/<pid> as a stable
handle for processes: allows sending signals without pid reuse issues,
intended to eventually replace rt_sigqueueinfo, kill, tgkill and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo, see
linux commit 3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad
signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall
on some targets (arm, m68k, s390x, sh) some previously missing syscall
numbers got added as well.
most of the found naming differences don't matter to musl, because
internally it unifies the syscall names that vary across targets,
but for external code the names should match the kernel uapi.
aarch64:
__NR_fstatat is called __NR_newfstatat in linux.
__NR_or1k_atomic got mistakenly copied from or1k.
arm:
__NR_arm_sync_file_range is an alias for __NR_sync_file_range2
__NR_fadvise64_64 is called __NR_arm_fadvise64_64 in linux,
the old non-arm name is kept too, it should not cause issues.
(powerpc has similar nonstandard fadvise and it uses the
normal name.)
i386:
__NR_madvise1 was removed from linux in commit
303395ac3bf3e2cb488435537d416bc840438fcb 2011-11-11
microblaze:
__NR_fadvise, __NR_fstatat, __NR_pread, __NR_pwrite
had different name in linux.
mips:
__NR_fadvise, __NR_fstatat, __NR_pread, __NR_pwrite, __NR_select
had different name in linux.
mipsn32:
__NR_fstatat is called __NR_newfstatat in linux.
or1k:
__NR__llseek is called __NR_llseek in linux.
the old name is kept too because that's the name musl uses
internally.
powerpc:
__NR_{get,set}res{gid,uid}32 was never present in powerpc linux.
__NR_timerfd was briefly defined in linux but then got renamed.
the syscalls take an additional flag argument, they were added in commit
f17d8b35452cab31a70d224964cd583fb2845449 and a RWF_HIPRI priority hint
flag was added to linux/fs.h in 97be7ebe53915af504fb491fb99f064c7cf3cb09.
the syscall is not allocated for microblaze and sh yet.
it was introduced for offloading copying between regular files
in linux commit 29732938a6289a15e907da234d6692a2ead71855
(microblaze and sh does not yet have the syscall number.)
this is mlock with a flags argument, new in linux commit
a8ca5d0ecbdde5cc3d7accacbd69968b0c98764e
as usual microblaze and sh don't have allocated syscall number yet.
new in linux v4.3 added for aarch64, arm, i386, mips, or1k, powerpc,
x32 and x86_64.
membarrier is a system wide memory barrier, moves most of the
synchronization cost to one side, new in kernel commit
5b25b13ab08f616efd566347d809b4ece54570d1
userfaultfd is useful for qemu and is new in kernel commit
8d2afd96c20316d112e04d935d9e09150e988397
switch_endian is powerpc only for switching endianness, new in commit
529d235a0e190ded1d21ccc80a73e625ebcad09b
this syscall allows fexecve to be implemented without /proc, it is new
in linux v3.19, added in commit 51f39a1f0cea1cacf8c787f652f26dfee9611874
(sh and microblaze do not have allocated syscall numbers yet)
added a x32 fix as well: the io_setup and io_submit syscalls are no
longer common with x86_64, so use the x32 specific numbers.
these syscalls are new in linux v3.18, bpf is present on all
supported archs except sh, kexec_file_load is only allocted for
x86_64 and x32 yet.
bpf was added in linux commit 99c55f7d47c0dc6fc64729f37bf435abf43f4c60
kexec_file_load syscall number was allocated in commit
f0895685c7fd8c938c91a9d8a6f7c11f22df58d2
these syscalls are new in linux v3.17 and present on all supported
archs except sh.
seccomp was added in commit 48dc92b9fc3926844257316e75ba11eb5c742b2c
it has operation, flags and pointer arguments (if flags==0 then it is
the same as prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP,...)), the uapi header for flag
definitions is linux/seccomp.h
getrandom was added in commit c6e9d6f38894798696f23c8084ca7edbf16ee895
it provides an entropy source when open("/dev/urandom",..) would fail,
the uapi header for flags is linux/random.h
memfd_create was added in commit 9183df25fe7b194563db3fec6dc3202a5855839c
it allows anon mmap to have an fd, that can be shared, sealed and needs no
mount point, the uapi header for flags is linux/memfd.h
linux 3.14 introduced sched_getattr and sched_setattr syscalls in
commit d50dde5a10f305253cbc3855307f608f8a3c5f73
and the related SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling policy in
commit aab03e05e8f7e26f51dee792beddcb5cca9215a5
but struct sched_attr "extended scheduling parameters data structure"
is not yet exported to userspace (necessary for using the syscalls)
so related uapi definitions are not added yet.
now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
__syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.
changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
i386 and mips has already been performed.
while musl itself requires a c99 compiler, some applications insist on
being compiled with c89 compilers, and use of "inline" in the headers
was breaking them. much of this had been avoided already by just
skipping the inline keyword in pre-c99 compilers or modes, but this
new unified solution is cleaner and may/should result in better code
generation in the default gcc configuration.
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.
at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
