[RFC PATCH 04/27] containers: Allow a process to be forked into a container

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Feb 15 2019 - 11:07:58 EST

Allow a single process to be forked directly into a container using a new
syscall, thereby 'booting' the container:

pid_t pid = fork_into_container(int container_fd);

This process will be the 'init' process of the container.

Further attempts to fork into the container will be rejected.
