I think it could be done fairly simply, the most complicated part is
probably designing an API that doesn't suck. But the basic idea would
be:
struct seccomp_notif_resp {
__u64 id;
__s32 error;
__s64 val;
__s32 fd;
};
if the handler responds with fd >= 0, we grab the tracer's fd,
duplicate it, and install it somewhere in the tracee's fd table. Since
things like socket() will want to return the fd number as its
installed and the handler doesn't know that, we'll probably want some
way to indicate that the kernel should return this value. We could
either mandate that if fd >= 0, that's the value that will be returned
from the syscall, or add another flag that says "no, install the fd,
but really return what's in val instead).
I guess we can't mandate that we return fd, because e.g. netlink
sockets can sometimes return fds as part of the netlink messages, and
not as the return value from the syscall.
