Userspace code that needs to check if the kernel supports a given action may not be able to use the /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_avail sysctl. The process may be running in a sandbox and, therefore, sufficient filesystem access may not be available. This patch adds an operation to the seccomp(2) syscall that allows userspace code to ask the kernel if a given action is available. If the action is supported by the kernel, 0 is returned. If the action is not supported by the kernel, -1 is returned with errno set to -EOPNOTSUPP. If this check is attempted on a kernel that doesn't support this new operation, -1 is returned with errno set to -EINVAL meaning that userspace code will have the ability to differentiate between the two error cases.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
