[PATCH] sched: debug: use task_pid_vnr in /proc/$pid/sched

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Sat Aug 05 2017 - 12:53:07 EST


It appears as though the addition of the PID namespace did not update
the output code for /proc/$pid/sched, which made it trivial to figure
out whether a process was inside &init_pid_ns from userspace (making
container detection trivial[1]). This lead to situations such as:

% unshare -pf head -n1 /proc/self/sched
head (10047, #threads: 1)

Fix this by just using task_pid_vnr for the output of /proc/$pid/sched.
All of the other uses of task_pid_nr in kernel/sched/debug.c are from a
sysctl context and thus don't need to be namespaced.
