2025-06-02um: pass FD for memory operations when neededBenjamin Berg
Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however, it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory. Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD, which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory. As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if desired.

2025-06-02um: Add stub side of SECCOMP/futex based process handlingBenjamin Berg
This adds the stub side for the new seccomp process management code. In this case we do register save/restore through the signal handler mcontext. Add special code for handling TLS, which for x86_64 means setting the FS_BASE/GS_BASE registers while for i386 it means calling the set_thread_area syscall.

2024-10-23um: Abandon the _PAGE_NEWPROT bitTiwei Bie
When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.

2024-07-03um: remove LDT supportBenjamin Berg
The current LDT code has a few issues that mean it should be redone in a different way once we always start with a fresh MM even when cloning. In a new and better world, the kernel would just ensure its own LDT is clear at startup. At that point, all that is needed is a simple function to populate the LDT from another MM in arch_dup_mmap combined with some tracking of the installed LDT entries for each MM. Note that the old implementation was even incorrect with regard to reading, as it copied out the LDT entries in the internal format rather than converting them to the userspace structure. Removal should be fine as the LDT is not used for thread-local storage anymore.

2024-07-03um: Rework syscall handlingBenjamin Berg
Rework syscall handling to be platform independent. Also create a clean split between queueing of syscalls and flushing them out, removing the need to keep state in the code that triggers the syscalls. The code adds syscall_data_len to the global mm_id structure. This will be used later to allow surrounding code to track whether syscalls still need to run and if errors occurred.
