Modern glibc will use clone3 instead of clone, when it detects that it
is available. We need to compare flags in order to decide whether to
allow clone (thread create vs process fork), but in clone3 the flags
are hidden inside a struct. Seccomp can't currently match on data inside
a struct, so our only option is to block clone3 entirely. If we use
ENOSYS to block it, then glibc transparently falls back to clone.
This may need to be revisited if Linux adds a new architecture in
future and only provides clone3, without clone.

When '-sandbox on,spawn=deny' is given, we are supposed to block the
ability to spawn processes. We naively blocked the 'fork' syscall,
forgetting that any modern libc will use the 'clone' syscall instead.
We can't simply block the 'clone' syscall though, as that will break
thread creation. We thus list the set of flags used to create threads
and block anything that doesn't match this exactly.

Recent GLibC calls sched_getaffinity in code paths related to malloc and
when QEMU blocks access, it sends it off into a bad codepath resulting
in stack exhaustion[1]. The GLibC bug is being fixed[2], but none the
less, GLibC has valid reasons to want to use sched_getaffinity.
It is not unreasonable for code to want to run many resource syscalls
for information gathering, so it is a bit too harsh for QEMU to block
them.

Most of the seccomp functions return errnos as a negative return

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.

When using "-seccomp on", the seccomp policy is only applied to the
main thread, the vcpu worker thread and other worker threads created
after seccomp policy is applied; the seccomp policy is not applied to
e.g. the RCU thread because it is created before the seccomp policy is
applied and SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC isn't used.
This can be verified with
for task in /proc/`pidof qemu`/task/*; do cat $task/status | grep Secc ; done

Starting with libseccomp 2.2.0 and kernel >= 3.17, we can use

libseccomp requirement was bumped to 2.2.0 in previous patch.

The seccomp action SCMP_ACT_KILL results in immediate termination of
the thread that made the bad system call. However, qemu being
multi-threaded, it keeps running. There is no easy way for parent
process / management layer (libvirt) to know about that situation.
Instead, the default SIGSYS handler when invoked with SCMP_ACT_TRAP
will terminate the program and core dump.
This may not be the most secure solution, but probably better than
just killing the offending thread. SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS has been
added in Linux 4.14 to improve the situation, which I propose to use
by default if available in the next patch.

v1:
- I added a syscall struct using priority levels as described in the
libseccomp man page. The priority numbers are based to the frequency
they appear in a sample strace from a regular qemu guest run under
libvirt.
Libseccomp generates linear BPF code to filter system calls, those rules
are read one after another. The priority system places the most common
rules first in order to reduce the overhead when processing them.
v1 -> v2:
- Fixed some style issues
- Removed code from vl.c and created qemu-seccomp.[ch]
- Now using ARRAY_SIZE macro
- Added more syscalls without priority/frequency set yet
v2 -> v3:
- Adding copyright and license information
- Replacing seccomp_whitelist_count just by ARRAY_SIZE
- Adding header protection to qemu-seccomp.h
- Moving QemuSeccompSyscall definition to qemu-seccomp.c
- Negative return from seccomp_start is fatal now.
- Adding open() and execve() to the whitelis
v3 -> v4:
- Tests revealed a bigger set of syscalls.
- seccomp_start() now has an argument to set the mode according to the
configure option trap or kill.
v4 -> v5:
- Tests on x86_64 required a new specific set of system calls.
- libseccomp release 1.0.0: part of the API have changed in this last
release, had to adapt to the new function signatures.
