Re: [PATCH] seccomp: Add group_leader pid to seccomp_notif

Or... And that's more invasive but ultimately cleaner we v2 the whole

embedd the size argument in the structs. Userspace sets the size
argument, we use get_user() to get the size first and then
copy_struct_from_user() to handle it cleanly based on that. A similar
model as with sched (has other unrelated quirks because they messed up
something too):

static int sched_copy_attr(struct sched_attr __user *uattr, struct sched_attr *attr)
{
	u32 size;
	int ret;

	/* Zero the full structure, so that a short copy will be nice: */
	memset(attr, 0, sizeof(*attr));

	ret = get_user(size, &uattr->size);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	/* ABI compatibility quirk: */
	if (!size)
		size = SCHED_ATTR_SIZE_VER0;
	if (size < SCHED_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 || size > PAGE_SIZE)
		goto err_size;

	ret = copy_struct_from_user(attr, sizeof(*attr), uattr, size);
	if (ret) {
		if (ret == -E2BIG)
			goto err_size;
		return ret;
	}

We're probably the biggest user of this right now and I'd be ok with
that change. If it's a v2 than whatever. :)

I'm :+1: on a new version and switch to copy_struct_from_user(). I was a
little surprised when I found out that user_notif doesn't do it this
way a while ago (and although in theory it is userspace's fault, ideally
we could have an API that doesn't have built-in footguns).
