Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] capability: introduce sysctl for controlled user-ns capability whitelist
From: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@...gle.com>
Add a sysctl variable kernel.controlled_userns_caps_whitelist. This
takes input as capability mask expressed as two comma separated hex
u32 words. The mask, however, is stored in kernel as kernel_cap_t type.
Any capabilities that are not part of this mask will be controlled and
will not be allowed to processes in controlled user-ns.

+controlled_userns_caps_whitelist
+
+Capability mask that is whitelisted for "controlled" user namespaces.
+Any capability that is missing from this mask will not be allowed to
+any process that is attached to a controlled-userns. e.g. if CAP_NET_RAW
+is not part of this mask, then processes running inside any controlled
+userns's will not be allowed to perform action that needs CAP_NET_RAW
+capability. However, processes that are attached to a parent user-ns
+hierarchy that is *not* controlled and has CAP_NET_RAW can continue
+performing those actions. User-namespaces are marked "controlled" at
+the time of their creation based on the capabilities of the creator.
+A process that does not have CAP_SYS_ADMIN will create user-namespaces
+that are controlled.
+
+The value is expressed as two comma separated hex words (u32). This
+sysctl is avaialble in init-ns and users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN in init-ns
+are allowed to make changes.
+
+==============================================================

core_pattern:
core_pattern is used to specify a core dumpfile pattern name.
