Subject[PATCH v2 1/4] capability: add ns_capable_cred()
Date
Add a simple capability helper which makes it possible to determine
whether a set of creds is ns capable wrt to the passed in credentials.
This is not something exciting it's just a more pleasant wrapper around
security_capable() by allowing ns_capable_common() to ake a const struct
cred argument. In ptrace_has_cap() for example, we're using
security_capable() directly. ns_capable_cred() will be used in the next
patch to check against the target credentials the caller is going to
switch to.
