From 5e2ff6704a275be009be8979af17c52361b79b89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 22:26:25 +0200 Subject: scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogical to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid, which allows programmers not to care about PID reuse problem. We mask SO_PASSPIDFD feature if CONFIG_UNIX is not builtin because it depends on a pidfd_prepare() API which is not exported to the kernel modules. Idea comes from UAPI kernel group: https://uapi-group.org/kernel-features/ Big thanks to Christian Brauner and Lennart Poettering for productive discussions about this. Cc: "David S.
