/* * Copyright (c) 2019 Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@kernel.org> * * This header, and the -lpsx library, provide a number of things to * support POSIX semantics for syscalls associated with the pthread * library. Linking this code is tricky and is done as follows: * * ld ... -lpsx -lpthread --wrap=pthread_create * or, gcc ... -lpsx -lpthread -Wl,-wrap,pthread_create * * glibc provides a subset of this functionality natively through the * nptl:setxid mechanism and could implement psx_syscall() directly * using that style of functionality but, as of 2019-11-30, the setxid * mechanism is limited to 9 specific set*() syscalls that do not * support the syscall6 API (needed for prctl functions and the ambient * capabilities set for example). */ #ifndef _SYS_PSX_SYSCALL_H #define _SYS_PSX_SYSCALL_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #include <pthread.h> /* * psx_syscall performs the specified syscall on all psx registered * threads. The mechanism by which this occurs is much less efficient * than a standard system call on Linux, so it should only be used * when POSIX semantics are required to change process relevant * security state. * * Glibc has native support for POSIX semantics on setgroups() and the * 8 set*[gu]id() functions. So, there is no need to use psx_syscall() * for these calls. This call exists for all the other system calls * that need to maintain parity on all pthreads of a program. * * Some macrology is used to allow the caller to provide only as many * arguments as needed, thus psx_syscall() cannot be used as a * function pointer.
