Subject: [PATCH] pidfd: add ioctl to retrieve pid info
From: Luca Boccassi <bluca@...ian.org>
A common pattern when using pid fds is having to get information
about the process, which currently requires /proc being mounted,
resolving the fd to a pid, and then do manual string parsing of
/proc/N/status and friends. This needs to be reimplemented over
and over in all userspace projects (e.g.: I have reimplemented
resolving in systemd, dbus, dbus-daemon, polkit so far), and
requires additional care in checking that the fd is still valid
after having parsed the data, to avoid races.
Having a programmatic API that can be used directly removes all
these requirements, including having /proc mounted.
As discussed at LPC24, add an ioctl with an extensible struct
so that more parameters can be added later if needed. Start with
exposing: pid, uid, gid, groupid, security label (the latter was
requested by the LSM maintainer).
