NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     systrace_redirect, systrace_fork,  systrace_exit  -  enforce
policies for
     system calls

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <dev/systrace.h>

     int
     systrace_redirect(int code, struct proc *p, void *args,
             register_t *retval);

     void
     systrace_fork(struct proc *oldproc, struct proc *p);

     void
     systrace_exit(struct proc *p);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     These  functions  are  used  to enforce policy on the system
calls as described
 in systrace(1).

     systrace_redirect() should be used to perform a system  call
number code
     with  arguments  args for the process p.  The result is then
put into the
     retval pointer.  A typical code sequence would be:

           #include "systrace.h"

           ...

           #if NSYSTRACE > 0
                   if (ISSET(p->p_flag, P_SYSTRACE))
                           error  =  systrace_redirect(code,   p,
args, rval);
                   else
           #endif
                           error   =  (*callp->sy_call)(p,  args,
rval);

     systrace_fork() is called from the fork1(9) function to  inherit policy
     for the child process.

     systrace_exit() is called during the death cycle of the process to detach
     the policy from the exiting process.

CODE REFERENCES    [Toc]    [Back]

     A subsystem for enforcing system call policies is implemented in
     sys/dev/systrace.c.
