So here's a more appropriate changelog for the patch.
C.
This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces.
It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns()
which resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid ==
0)
For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its
user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be
contained using appropriate means, for instance selinux
The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered),
is to keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and
let a process become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full
capabilities to the new namespace.
