[RFC PATCH v1 1/8] Add mseal syscall

From: jeffxu
Date: Mon Oct 16 2023 - 10:39:06 EST


From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@xxxxxxxxxx>

mseal() prevents system calls from modifying the metadata of
virtual addresses.

Five syscalls can be sealed, as specified by bitmasks:
MM_SEAL_MPROTECT: Deny mprotect(2)/pkey_mprotect(2).
MM_SEAL_MUNMAP: Deny munmap(2).
MM_SEAL_MMAP: Deny mmap(2).
MM_SEAL_MREMAP: Deny mremap(2).
MM_SEAL_MSEAL: Deny adding a new seal type.
