    user namespace: add unshare · 77ec739d
    Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
    This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces.
    
    It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which
    resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0)
    
    For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its
    user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained
    using appropriate means, for instance selinux
    
    The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to
    keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process
    become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new
    namespace.
