This patchset introduces a new operation and a new flag
to split the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER process into two steps:
load filter and attach filter. Thus we can reuse the filter.
The new SECCOMP_LOAD_FILTER loads the filter and returns a fd
which can be pinned to bpffs. This extends the lifetime of the
filter and thus can be reused by different processes.
With this new operation, we can eliminate a hot path of JITing
BPF program (the filter) where we apply the same seccomp filter
to thousands of micro VMs on a bare metal instance.
The new flag SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_BPF_PROG_FD is used to attach
a filter which is loaded via SECCOMP_LOAD_FILTER and represented
by a seccomp bpf prog fd. The fd is either returned from
SECCOMP_LOAD_FILTER or obtained from bpffs using bpf syscall.
Change logs:
v1 -> v2:
- Add a flag to attach filter from fd
- Update selftests
RFC -> v1:
- Addressed comments from Kees
- Reuse filter copy/create code (patch 1)
- Add a selftest (patch 4)
