// On Linux, the seccomp sandbox makes it very expensive to call
// recvmsg() and sendmsg(). The restriction on calling read() and write(), which
// are cheap, is that we can't pass file descriptors over them.
//
// As we cannot anticipate when the sender will provide us with file
// descriptors, we have to make the decision about whether we call read() or
// recvmsg() before we actually make the call. The easiest option is to
// create a dedicated socketpair() for exchanging file descriptors. Any file
// descriptors are split out of a message, with the non-file-descriptor payload
// going over the normal connection, and the file descriptors being sent
// separately over the other channel. When read()ing from a channel, we'll
// notice if the message was supposed to have come with file descriptors and
// use recvmsg on the other socketpair to retrieve them and combine them
// back with the rest of the message.
//
// Mac can also run in IPC_USES_READWRITE mode if necessary, but at this time
// doesn't take a performance hit from recvmsg and sendmsg, so it doesn't
// make sense to waste resources on having the separate dedicated socketpair.
// It is however useful for debugging between Linux and Mac to be able to turn
// this switch 'on' on the Mac as well.
//
// The HELLO message from the client to the server is always sent using
// sendmsg because it will contain the file descriptor that the server
// needs to send file descriptors in later messages.
