Each process have different pids, one for each pid namespace it belongs.
When interaction happens within single pid-ns translation isn't required.
More complicated scenarios needs special handling.
For example:
- reading pid-files or logs written inside container with pid namespace
- writing logs with internal pids outside container for pushing them into
- attaching with ptrace to tasks from different pid namespace
Generally speaking, any cross pid-ns API with pids needs translation.
Currently there are several interfaces that could be used here:
Pid namespaces are identified by device and inode of /proc/[pid]/ns/pid.
Pids for nested pid namespaces are shown in file /proc/[pid]/status.
In some cases pid translation could be easily done using this information.
Backward translation requires scanning all tasks and becomes really
complicated for deeper namespace nesting.
Unix socket automatically translates pid attached to SCM_CREDENTIALS.
This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN for sending arbitrary pids and entering
into pid namespace, this expose process and could be insecure.
This patch adds new syscall for converting pids between pid namespaces:
pid_t translate_pid(pid_t pid, int source, int target);
Pid-namespaces are referred file descriptors opened to proc files
/proc/[pid]/ns/pid or /proc/[pid]/ns/pid_for_children.
Negative argument points to current pid namespace.
Syscall returns pid in target pid-ns or zero if task have no pid there.
Error codes:
EBADF - file descriptor is closed
EINVAL - file descriptor isn't pid namespace
ESRCH - task not found in @source namespace
Translation could breach pid-ns isolation and return pids from outer pid
namespaces iff process already has file descriptor for these namespaces.
Examples:
translate_pid(pid, ns, -1) - get pid in our pid namespace
translate_pid(pid, -1, ns) - get pid in other pid namespace
translate_pid(1, ns, -1) - get pid of init task for namespace
translate_pid(pid, -1, ns) > 0 - is pid is reachable from ns?
translate_pid(1, ns1, ns2) > 0 - is ns1 inside ns2?
translate_pid(1, ns1, ns2) == 0 - is ns1 outside ns2?
translate_pid(1, ns1, ns2) == 1 - is ns1 equal ns2?

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/15/411
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/24/278
* use namespace-fd as second/third argument
* add -pid for getting parent pid
* move code into kernel/sys.c next to getppid
* drop ifdef CONFIG_PID_NS
* add generic syscall
v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/3
* use proc_ns_fdget()
* update description
* rebase to next-20150925
* fix conflict with mlock2
v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/13/177
* rename from getvpid() into translate_pid()
* remove syscall if CONFIG_PID_NS=n
* drop -pid for parent task
* drop fget-fdget optimizations
* add helper get_pid_ns_by_fd()
* wire only into x86
v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/677
* rewrite commit message
* resolve pidns by task pid or by pidns fd
* add arguments source_type and target_type
v6:
* revert back minimized v4 design
* rebase to next-20180601
* fix COND_SYSCALL stub
* use next syscall number, old used for io_pgetevents
