[PATCH v4 2/5] pid: Add PIDFD_IOCTL_GETFD to fetch file descriptors from processes

[Sargun Dhillon]

This adds an ioctl which allows file descriptors to be extracted
from processes based on their pidfd.

One reason to use this is to allow sandboxers to take actions on file
descriptors on the behalf of another process. For example, this can be
combined with seccomp-bpf's user notification to do on-demand fd
extraction and take privileged actions. For example, it can be used
to bind a socket to a privileged port. This is similar to ptrace, and
using ptrace parasitic code injection to extract a file descriptor from a
process, but without breaking debuggers, or paying the ptrace overhead
cost.

You must have the ability to ptrace the process in order to extract any
file descriptors from it. ptrace can already be used to extract file
descriptors based on parasitic code injections, so the permissions
model is aligned.

The ioctl takes a pointer to pidfd_getfd_args. pidfd_getfd_args contains
a size, which allows for gradual evolution of the API. There is an options
field, which can be used to state whether the fd should be opened with
CLOEXEC, or not. An additional options field may be added in the future
to include the ability to clear cgroup information about the file
descriptor at a later point. If the structure is from a newer kernel, and
includes members which make it larger than the structure that's known to
this kernel version, E2BIG will be returned.
