pidns: fix vfork() after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
Commit 8382fcac ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared pid_ns, this obviously breaks vfork: int main(void) { assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0); assert(vfork() >= 0); _exit(0); return 0; } fails without this patch. Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead. This also forbids CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies. We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it would be safer to not do this. The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND implicitely and there is no reason to change this. Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine. CLONE_THREAD would be even better. Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is the case that we are fundamentally guarding against."
