[PATCH v2 0/1] Unprivileged chroot

[Mickaël Salaün]

Hi,

This second patch replaces the custom is_path_beneath() with the
existing path_is_under().

The chroot system call is currently limited to be used by processes with
the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability.  This protects against malicious
procesess willing to trick SUID-like binaries.  The following patch
allows unprivileged users to safely use chroot(2).

This patch is a follow-up of a previous one sent by Andy Lutomirski some
time ago:

This patch can be applied on top of v5.12-rc2 .  I would really
appreciate constructive reviews.
