Merge tag 'threads-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
 "We have been discussing using pidfds to attach to namespaces for quite
  a while and the patches have in one form or another already existed
  for about a year. But I wanted to wait to see how the general api
  would be received and adopted.

  This contains the changes to make it possible to use pidfds to attach
  to the namespaces of a process, i.e. they can be passed as the first
  argument to the setns() syscall.

  When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are
  equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET)
  equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET).

  However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be
  specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the
  caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them.

  Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two
  obvious examples:

    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);

  Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various
  use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain
  privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of
  namespaces.

  Apart from significantly reducing the number of syscalls needed to
  attach to all currently supported namespaces (eight "open+setns"
  sequences vs just a single "setns()"), this also allows atomic setns
  to a set of namespaces, i.e. either attaching to all namespaces
  succeeds or we fail without having changed anything.

  This is centered around a new internal struct nsset which holds all
  information necessary for a task to switch to a new set of namespaces
  atomically. Fwiw, with this change a pidfd becomes the only token
  needed to interact with a container. I'm expecting this to be
  picked-up by util-linux for nsenter rather soon.

  Associated with this change is a shiny new test-suite dedicated to
  setns() (for pidfds and nsfds alike)"
