#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# A simple helper script to help people build seccomp profiles for
# Docker/LXC.  The goal is mostly to reduce the attack surface to the
# kernel, by restricting access to rarely used, recently added or not used
# syscalls.
#
# This script processes one or more files which contain the list of system
# calls to be allowed.  See mkseccomp.sample for more information how you
# can configure the list of syscalls.  When run, this script produces output
# which, when stored in a file, can be passed to docker as follows:
#
# docker run --lxc-conf="lxc.seccomp=$file" <rest of arguments>
#
# The included sample file shows how to cut about a quarter of all syscalls,
# which affecting most applications.
#
# For specific situations it is possible to reduce the list further. By
# reducing the list to just those syscalls required by a certain application
# you can make it difficult for unknown/unexpected code to run.
#
# Run this script as follows:
#
# ./mkseccomp.pl < mkseccomp.sample >syscalls.list
# or
# ./mkseccomp.pl mkseccomp.sample >syscalls.list
#
# Multiple files can be specified, in which case the lists of syscalls are
# combined.

# How it works:
#
# This program basically spawns two processes to form a chain like:
#
# <process data section to prefix __NR_> | cpp | <add header and filter unknown syscalls>
