Subject: [PATCH v2] sparc: make copy_thread honor pid namespaces

On sparc, fork and clone syscalls have an unusual semantics of
returning the pid of the parent process to the child process.

Apparently, the implementation did not honor pid namespaces at all,
so the child used to get the pid of its parent in the init namespace.

Fortunately, most users of these syscalls are not affected by this bug
because they use another register to distinguish the parent process
from its child, and the pid of the parent process is often discarded.

Reproducer:

  $ gcc -Wall -O2 -xc - <<'EOF'
  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include <err.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <sched.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <asm/unistd.h>
  #include <linux/sched.h>
  static void test_fork(void)
  {
  	int pid = syscall(__NR_fork);
  	if (pid < 0)
  		err(1, "fork");
  	fprintf(stderr, "current: %d, parent: %d, fork returned: %d\n",
  		getpid(), getppid(), pid);
  	int status;
  	if (wait(&status) < 0) {
  		if (errno == ECHILD)
  			_exit(0);
  		err(1, "wait");
  	}
  	if (!WIFEXITED(status) || WEXITSTATUS(status) != 0)
  		errx(1, "wait: %#x", status);
  }
  int main(void)
  {
  	test_fork();
  	if (unshare(CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWUSER) < 0)
  		err(1, "unshare");
  	test_fork();
  	return 0;
  }
  EOF
  $ sh -c ./a.out
  current: 10001, parent: 10000, fork returned: 10002
  current: 10002, parent: 10001, fork returned: 10001
  current: 10001, parent: 10000, fork returned: 10003
  current: 1, parent: 0, fork returned: 10001

This bug was found by strace test suite.

v2: Replaced task_active_pid_ns(p) with current->nsproxy->pid_ns_for_children
    as suggested by Eric.
