Subject[PATCH 2/4] arch/x86: implement the process_vm_exec syscall
Date
This change introduces the new system call:
process_vm_exec(pid_t pid, struct sigcontext *uctx, unsigned long flags,
siginfo_t * uinfo, sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sizemask)

process_vm_exec allows to execute the current process in an address
space of another process.

process_vm_exec swaps the current address space with an address space of
a specified process, sets a state from sigcontex and resumes the process.
When a process receives a signal or calls a system call,
process_vm_exec saves the process state back to sigcontext, restores the
origin address space, restores the origin process state, and returns to
userspace.

If it was interrupted by a signal and the signal is in the user_mask,
the signal is dequeued and information about it is saved in uinfo.
If process_vm_exec is interrupted by a system call, a synthetic siginfo
for the SIGSYS signal is generated.

The behavior of this system call is similar to PTRACE_SYSEMU but
everything is happing in the context of one process, so
process_vm_exec shows a better performance.

PTRACE_SYSEMU is primarily used to implement sandboxes (application
kernels) like User-mode Linux or gVisor. These type of sandboxes
intercepts applications system calls and acts as the guest kernel.
A simple benchmark, where a "tracee" process executes systems calls in a
loop and a "tracer" process traps syscalls and handles them just
incrementing the tracee instruction pointer to skip the syscall
instruction shows that process_vm_exec works more than 5 times faster
than PTRACE_SYSEMU.
