[PATCH v4 2/3] Limit dump_pipe program's permission to init for container

From: Cao Shufeng
Date: Tue Nov 15 2016 - 22:10:59 EST


Currently when we set core_pattern to a pipe, the pipe program is
forked by kthread running with root's permission, and write dumpfile
into host's filesystem.
Same thing happened for container, the dumper and dumpfile are also
in host(not in container).

It have following program:
1: Not consistent with file_type core_pattern
When we set core_pattern to a file, the container will write dump
into container's filesystem instead of host.
2: Not safe for privileged container
In a privileged container, user can destroy host system by following
command:
# # In a container
# echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# make_dump

This patch switch dumper program's environment to init task, so, for
container, dumper program have same environment with init task in
container, which make dumper program put in container's filesystem, and
write coredump into container's filesystem.
The dumper's permission is also limited into subset of container's init
process.
