Subject[PATCH 2/4] pid: add pidfd_open()
Date
pidfd_open() allows to retrieve pidfds for processes and removes the
dependency of pidfd on procfs. Multiple people have expressed a desire to
do this even when pidfd_send_signal() was merged. It is even recorded in
the commit message for pidfd_send_signal() itself
(cf. commit 3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad):
Q-06: (Andrew Morton [1])
Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps.
A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs
so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence,
there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make
pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However,
adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a
future patchset (cf. [1]).
Alexey made a similar request (cf. [2]). Additionally, Andy made an
argument that we should go forward with non-proc-dirfd file descriptors for
the sake of security and extensibility (cf. [3]).
This will unblock or help move along work on pidfd_wait which is currently
ongoing.

/* pidfds are anon inode file descriptors */
These pidfds are allocated using anon_inode_getfd(), are O_CLOEXEC by
default and can be used with the pidfd_send_signal() syscall. They are not
dirfds and as such have the advantage that we can make them pollable or
readable in the future if we see a need to do so. Currently they do not
support any advanced operations. The pidfds are not associated with a
specific pid namespaces but rather only reference struct pid of a given
process in their private_data member.

/* Process Metadata Access */
One of the oustanding issues has been how to get information about a given
process if pidfds are regular file descriptors and do not provide access to
the process /proc/<pid> directory.
Various solutions have been proposed. The one that most people prefer is to
be able to retrieve a file descriptor to /proc/<pid> based on a pidfd (and
the other way around).
IF PROCFD_TO_PIDFD is passed as a flag together with a file descriptor to a
/proc mount in a given pid namespace and a pidfd pidfd_open() will return a
file descriptor to the corresponding /proc/<pid> directory in procfs
mounts' pid namespace. pidfd_open() is very careful to verify that the pid
hasn't been recycled in between.
IF PIDFD_TO_PROCFD is passed as a flag together with a file descriptor
referencing a /proc/<pid> directory a pidfd referencing the struct pid
stashed in /proc/<pid> of the process will be returned.
The pidfd_open() syscalls in that manner resembles openat() as it uses a
flag argument to modify what type of file descriptor will be returned.

The pidfd_open() implementation together with the flags argument strikes me
as an elegant compromise between splitting this into multiple syscalls and
avoiding ioctls().

/* Examples */
// Retrieve pidfd
int pidfd = pidfd_open(1234, -1, -1, 0);

// Retrieve /proc/<pid> handle for pidfd
int procfd = open("/proc", O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
int procpidfd = pidfd_open(-1, procfd, pidfd, PIDFD_TO_PROCFD);

// Retrieve pidfd for /proc/<pid>
int procpidfd = open("/proc/1234", O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
int pidfd = pidfd_open(-1, procpidfd, -1, PROCFD_TO_PIDFD);
