[RFC v3 1/1] ns: add binfmt_misc to the user namespace

From: Laurent Vivier
Date: Wed Oct 03 2018 - 18:51:17 EST


This patch allows to have a different binfmt_misc configuration
for each new user namespace. By default, the binfmt_misc configuration
is the one of the host, but if the binfmt_misc filesystem is mounted
in the new namespace a new empty binfmt instance is created and used
in this namespace.

For instance, using "unshare" we can start a chroot of an another
architecture and configure the binfmt_misc interpreter without being root
to run the binaries in this chroot.
