libct/seccomp: skip redundant rules
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This fixes using runc with podman on my system (Fedora 34).

> $ podman --runtime `pwd`/runc run --rm --memory 4M fedora echo it works
> Error: unable to start container process: error adding seccomp filter rule for syscall bdflush: permission denied: OCI permission denied

The problem is, libseccomp returns EPERM when a redundant rule (i.e. the
rule with the same action as the default one) is added, and podman (on
my machine) sets the following rules in config.json:

    <....>
    "seccomp": {
      "defaultAction": "SCMP_ACT_ERRNO",
      "architectures": [
        "SCMP_ARCH_X86_64",
        "SCMP_ARCH_X86",
        "SCMP_ARCH_X32"
      ],
      "syscalls": [
        {
          "names": [
            "bdflush",
            "io_pgetevents",
            <....>
          ],
          "action": "SCMP_ACT_ERRNO",
          "errnoRet": 1
        },
        <....>

(Note that defaultErrnoRet is not set, but it defaults to 1).

With this commit, it works:

> $ podman --runtime `pwd`/runc run --memory 4M fedora echo it works
> it works

Add an integration test (that fails without the fix).
