seccomp: add SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO
This change adds the SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO as a valid return value from a seccomp filter. Additionally, it makes the first use of the lower 16-bits for storing a filter-supplied errno. 16-bits is more than enough for the errno-base.h calls. Returning errors instead of immediately terminating processes that violate seccomp policy allow for broader use of this functionality for kernel attack surface reduction. For example, a linux container could maintain a whitelist of pre-existing system calls but drop all new ones with errnos. This would keep a logically static attack surface while providing errnos that may allow for graceful failure without the downside of do_exit() on a bad call. This change also changes the signature of __secure_computing. It appears the only direct caller is the arm entry code and it clobbers any possible return value (register) immediately.

(eparis@redhat.com) - clean up and pad out return codes (indan@nul.nu) v14: - no change/rebase v13: - rebase on to 88ebdda6159ffc15699f204c33feb3e431bf9bdc v12: - move to WARN_ON if filter is NULL (oleg@redhat.com, luto@mit.edu, keescook@chromium.org) - return immediately for filter==NULL (keescook@chromium.org) - change evaluation to only compare the ACTION so that layered errnos don't result in the lowest one being returned. (keeschook@chromium.org) v11: - check for NULL filter (keescook@chromium.org) v10: - change loaders to fn v9: - n/a v8: - update Kconfig to note new need for syscall_set_return_value. - reordered such that TRAP behavior follows on later. - made the for loop a little less indent-y v7: - introduced Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com>
