mainlining shenanigans

The current SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF API allows for syscall supervision over an fd. It is often used in settings where a supervising task emulates syscalls on behalf of a supervised task in userspace, either to further restrict the supervisee's syscall abilities or to circumvent kernel enforced restrictions the supervisor deems safe to lift (e.g. actually performing a mount(2) for an unprivileged container). While SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF allows for the interception of any syscall, only a certain subset of syscalls could be correctly emulated. Over the last few development cycles, the set of syscalls which can't be emulated has been reduced due to the addition of pidfd_getfd(2). With this we are now able to, for example, intercept syscalls that require the supervisor to operate on file descriptors of the supervisee such as connect(2). However, syscalls that cause new file descriptors to be installed can not currently be correctly emulated since there is no way for the supervisor to inject file descriptors into the supervisee. This patch adds a new addfd ioctl to remove this restriction by allowing the supervisor to install file descriptors into the intercepted task. By implementing this feature via seccomp the supervisor effectively instructs the supervisee to install a set of file descriptors into its own file descriptor table during the intercepted syscall. This way it is possible to intercept syscalls such as open() or accept(), and install (or replace, like dup2(2)) the supervisor's resulting fd into the supervisee. One replacement use-case would be to redirect the stdout and stderr of a supervisee into log file descriptors opened by the supervisor. The ioctl handling is based on the discussions[1] of how Extensible Arguments should interact with ioctls. Instead of building size into the addfd structure, make it a function of the ioctl command (which is how sizes are normally passed to ioctls). To support forward and backward compatibility, just mask out the direction and size, and match everything. The size (and any future direction) checks are done along with copy_struct_from_user() logic. As a note, the seccomp_notif_addfd structure is laid out based on 8-byte alignment without requiring packing as there have been packing issues with uapi highlighted before[2][3]. Although we could overload the newfd field and use -1 to indicate that it is not to be used, doing so requires changing the size of the fd field, and introduces struct packing complexity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
