The syscall package has been deprecated in favor of golang.org/x/sys.
Note that syscall is still used in the following places:
- pkg/sentry/socket/hostinet/stack.go: some netlink related functionalities
are not yet available in golang.org/x/sys.
- syscall.Stat_t is still used in some places because os.FileInfo.Sys() still
returns it and not unix.Stat_t.
Updates #214

Before https://golang.org/cl/173160 syscall.RawSyscall would zero out
the last three register arguments to the system call. That no longer happens.
For system calls that take more than three arguments, use RawSyscall6 to
ensure that we pass zero, not random data, for the additional arguments.

RET_KILL_THREAD doesn't work well for Go because it will
kill only the offending thread and leave the process hanging.
RET_TRAP can be masked out and it's not guaranteed to kill
the process. RET_KILL_PROCESS is available since 4.14.
For older kernel, continue to use RET_TRAP as this is the
best option (likely to kill process, easy to debug).

This is a defense-in-depth measure. If the sentry is compromised, this prevents
system call injection to the stubs. There is some complexity with respect to
ptrace and seccomp interactions, so this protection is not really available
for kernel versions < 4.8; this is detected dynamically.
Note that this also solves the vsyscall emulation issue by adding in
appropriate trapping for those system calls. It does mean that a compromised
sentry could theoretically inject these into the stub (ignoring the trap and
resume, thereby allowing execution), but they are harmless.
