[PATCH v4 0/6] landlock: Signal scoping support

This patch series adds scoping mechanism for signals.
Closes: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/issues/8

Problem
=======

A sandboxed process is currently not restricted from sending signals
(e.g. SIGKILL) to processes outside the sandbox since Landlock has no
restriction on signals(see more details in [1]).

A simple way to apply this restriction would be to scope signals the
same way abstract unix sockets are restricted.

Solution
========

To solve this issue, we extend the "scoped" field in the Landlock
ruleset attribute structure by introducing "LANDLOCK_SCOPED_SIGNAL"
field to specify that a ruleset will deny sending any signals from
within the sandbox domain to its parent(i.e. any parent sandbox or
non-sandbox processes).

Example
=======

Create a sansboxed shell and pass the character "s" to LL_SCOPED:
LL_FD_RO=/ LL_FS_RW=. LL_SCOPED="s" ./sandboxer /bin/bash
Try to send a signal(like SIGTRAP) to a process ID <PID> through:
kill -SIGTRAP <PID>
The sandboxed process should not be able to send the signal.
