    bpf: Sysctl hook · 7b146ceb
    Andrey Ignatov authored
    Containerized applications may run as root and it may create problems
    for whole host. Specifically such applications may change a sysctl and
    affect applications in other containers.
    
    Furthermore in existing infrastructure it may not be possible to just
    completely disable writing to sysctl, instead such a process should be
    gradual with ability to log what sysctl are being changed by a
    container, investigate, limit the set of writable sysctl to currently
    used ones (so that new ones can not be changed) and eventually reduce
    this set to zero.
    
    The patch introduces new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL and
    attach type BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL to solve these problems on cgroup basis.
    
    New program type has access to following minimal context:
    	struct bpf_sysctl {
    		__u32	write;
    	};
    
    Where @write indicates whether sysctl is being read (= 0) or written (=
    1).
    
    Helpers to access sysctl name and value will be introduced separately.
    
    BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL attach point is added to sysctl code right before
    passing control to ctl_table->proc_handler so that BPF program can
    either allow or deny access to sysctl.
