Brought up in #4225 where it had issues with Openat2 which was added in
5.8.
The main driving force around minimum kernel version requirement is that
the lowest kernel version in our CI is 5.15. A benefit to this choice is
that this is an LTS release, which is also what Ubuntu 22.04 is
shipping.
Once the single CI machine is fixed to ship something newer then the
next logical choice would be kernel 6.1 which is also LTS, but until
then just lift it to 5.15. This version was released in October 2021,
and is supported by the kernel developers until 2026. Our previous
minimum of 5.0 was released in March 2019, so a two year leap here.
This removes the openat2 workaround that was necessary to pass our CI
since it is no longer necessary.
Chromium/CEF has code that iterates through all open FDs and bails if
any are directories (apparently a sandboxing sanity check). To avoid
this check, we need to hide the RootFS FD. This requires hooking all the
getdents variants to skip that entry.
To keep the runtime cost low, we keep track of the inode of
/proc/self/fd/<rootfs fd> (note: not the RootFS inode, the inode of the
magic symlink in /proc), and first do a quick check on that. If it
matches, then we stat the dirfd we are reading and check against the
procfs device, to complete the inode equality check.
As an extra benefit, this also fixes code that tries to iterate and
close all/extra FDs and ends up closing the RootFS fd.
This was a funny joke that this was here, but it is fundamentally
incompatible with what we're doing. All those users are running proot
anyway because of how broken running under termux directly is.
Just remove this from here.
Reimagining of #3355 without any json generators or new concepts.
Fixes some mislabeling of system calls. Some getting inlined when they
shouldn't be, a lot not getting inlined when they can be.
This really cleans up the syscall implementation, all syscalls that can
be passthrough implementations require a very small two line
declaration.
Additionally cleans up a bit of implementation cruft where some
passthrough syscalls were using the glibc syscall handler, and some were
using the glibc implementation. We have had multiple issues in the past
where the glibc implementation does something subtly different than the
raw syscall and breaks things. Now all passthrough handlers do a system
call directly, removing at least one indirection and some ambiguity.
This makes it significantly easier to add new passthrough syscalls as
well. Only need to do a version check and add the three lines per
syscall. Which there are new syscalls incoming that we will want to add.
Tangible improvements:
- Syscalls are lower overhead than ever.
- When I'm adding more syscalls I have less chance of mucking it up.
