Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
inherited restrictions and filters.
seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
submission queue ring.
As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
filters, can't filter io_uring operations.
That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.
io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.
This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled
or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled.
This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or
containers which really want both broader and more specific control.
This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables
tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As
examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2,
allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for
IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These
are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because
the latter is often restricted in containers as well.
These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows
filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user
memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing
it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this
data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the
user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data
passed.
On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any
ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those
filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across
fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added
filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.
Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only
permit or deny it based on the contents"
