[PATCH 1/1] simplified security.nscapability xattr

From: Serge Hallyn
Date: Mon Feb 29 2016 - 19:09:35 EST


This can only be set by root in his own namespace, and will
only be respected by namespaces with that same root kuid
mapped as root. The file must be owned by the root user in
the container. This allows us to avoid having to store a
'root user' value in the capability.

This allows a simple setxattr to work, allows tar/untar to
work, and allows us to tar in one namespace and untar in
another while preserving the capability, without risking
leaking privilege into a parent namespace.
