.Sh NAME
.Nm systrace
.Nd enforce and generate policies for system calls
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "pseudo-device systrace" Op Ar count
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
attaches to processes and enforces policies for system calls.
A pseudo-device,
.Pa /dev/systrace ,
allows userland processes to control the behavior of
.Nm
through an
.Xr ioctl 2
interface.
.Sh SYSTEM CALL POLICIES
.Nm
can assign the following policies to system calls:
.Bl -tag -width SYSTR_POLICY_XXXXXX
.It Dv SYSTR_POLICY_ASK
Send a message of the type
.Dv SYSTR_MSG_ASK ,
and put the process to sleep until a
.Dv STRIOCANSWER
.Xr ioctl 2
is made.
.It Dv SYSTR_POLICY_PERMIT
Immediately allow the system call.
.It Dv SYSTR_POLICY_NEVER
Immediately return an error code.
.El
.Sh SYSTRACE MESSAGES
A
.Xr read 2
operation on the
.Nm
pseudo-device will block if there are no pending messages, or
return the following structure:
.Bd -literal
struct str_message {
	int msg_type;
#define SYSTR_MSG_ASK		1
#define SYSTR_MSG_RES		2
#define SYSTR_MSG_EMUL		3
#define SYSTR_MSG_CHILD		4
#define SYSTR_MSG_UGID		5
#define SYSTR_MSG_POLICYFREE	6
#define SYSTR_MSG_EXECVE	7
	pid_t msg_pid;
	u_int16_t msg_seqnr;	/* answer has to match seqnr */
	short msg_policy;
	union {
		struct str_msg_emul msg_emul;
		struct str_msg_ugid msg_ugid;
		struct str_msg_ask msg_ask;
		struct str_msg_child msg_child;
		struct str_msg_execve msg_execve;
	} msg_data;
};

struct str_msg_emul {
	char emul[SYSTR_EMULEN];
};

struct str_msg_ugid {
	uid_t uid;
	gid_t gid;
};

struct str_msg_execve {
	char path[MAXPATHLEN];
};

struct str_msg_ask {
	int code;
	int argsize;
	register_t args[SYSTR_MAXARGS];
	register_t rval[2];
	int result;
};

struct str_msg_child {
	pid_t new_pid;		/* -1 if child exited */
};
.Ed
.Pp
These messages are all sent to the userland control process.
.Bl -tag -width SYSTR_MSG_XXXXXXXXXX
.It SYSTR_MSG_ASK
This message is sent whenever the kernel does not have a cached
simple policy for system call number
.Va code
within the currently set emulation.
.It SYSTR_MSG_RES
This message is sent whenever a system call is flagged with
SYSTR_FLAGS_RESULT.
.It SYSTR_MSG_EMUL
This message is sent whenever the emulation of a process changes.
.It SYSTR_MSG_CHILD
This message is sent whenever a process gains or loses a child.
In the latter case, the event is raised when the child exits, but
not when it is reaped.
.It SYSTR_MSG_UGID
This message is sent whenever the effective UID or GID has changed
during the execution of a system call.
.It SYSTR_MSG_POLICYFREE
This is sent whenever the kernel frees the policy identified by
.Va msg_policy .
.It SYSTR_MSG_EXECVE
This message is sent whenever, before a call to
.Xr execve 2
a process is privileged (technically, the process has the P_SUGID or
P_SUGIDEXEC flag set),
but after the call these privileges have been dropped.
The new image name is specified in the
.Va path
argument.
.El
.Sh IOCTL INTERFACE
.Nm
supports the following
.Xr ioctl 2
commands:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv STRIOCCLONE Fa "int *"
Return a
.Nm
file descriptor for
further
.Xr ioctl 2
operations.
.It Dv STRIOCATTACH Fa "pid_t *"
Attach to a process, unless:
.Bl -enum -compact -width 2n
.It
It's the process that's doing the attaching.
.It
It's a system process.
.It
It's being traced already.
.It
You do not own the process and you're not root.
.It
It's
.Xr init 8 ,
and the
kernel was not compiled with
.Cd option INSECURE .
.El
.It Dv STRIOCDETACH Fa "pid_t *"
Wake up a process if it is waiting for an answer, and detach from it.
.It Dv STRIOCANSWER Fa "struct systrace_answer *"
Tell
.Nm
what to do with a system call that was assigned a policy of
.Dv SYSTR_POLICY_ASK .
.Bd -literal

.Ed
.It Dv STRIOCREPORT Fa "pid_t *"
Report the current emulation a process is using inside the
.Vt msg_emul
structure.
.It Dv STRIOCREPLACE Fa "struct systrace_replace *"

};
.Ed
.It Dv STRIOCIO Fa "struct systrace_io *"
Copy data in/out of the process being traced.
.Bd -literal

	void *strio_addr;
	size_t strio_len;
};
.Ed
.It Dv STRIOCPOLICY Fa "struct systrace_policy *"

};
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Dv SYSTR_POLICY_NEW
operation allocates a new policy of
.Va strp_maxents
entries with each initialized to
.Dv SYSTR_POLICY_ASK ,
and returns the new policy number into
.Va strp_num .
.Pp
The
.Dv SYSTR_POLICY_ASSIGN
operation attaches the policy identified by
.Va strp_num
to
.Va strp_pid ,
with a maximum of
.Va strp_maxents
entries.
.Pp
The
.Dv SYSTR_POLICY_MODIFY
operation changes the entry indexed by
.Va strp_code
to
.Va strp_policy .
.It Dv STRIOCGETCWD Fa "pid_t *"
Set the working directory of the current process to that of the
named process.
.It Dv STRIOCRESCWD
Restore the working directory of the current process.
.It Dv STRIOCINJECT
Inject a buffer into the stackgap of the traced process.
This accommodates for the manipulation of non-scalar arguments.
The actual replacement is not done until system call time,
and its presence in the stackgap is only guaranteed
for the duration of that system call.
.Bd -literal
struct systrace_inject {
	/* On return, this contains the stackgap address. */
	caddr_t stri_addr;
	size_t  stri_len;
	pid_t   stri_pid;

.Ed
.It Dv STRIOCSCRIPTNAME Fa "struct systrace_scriptname *"
Set the path of executed scripts to
.Va sn_scriptname .

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
facility first appeared in
.Ox 3.2 .
.\" .Sh BUGS
.Sh CAVEATS
When creating new policies, if
.Va strp_maxents
is not large enough to accommodate any system calls needed for
fundamental process operations, the traced process will block forever.
