From 92c4fc6f0946e846dee50b79b5dd061fe795dfaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janis Danisevskis Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 13:57:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] UPSTREAM: procfs: fixes pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file system to be owned by ROOT. The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to /proc//task//comm. If PR_DUMPABLE is false this implementation is locked out. This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm" that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group regardless of the ownership of the inode. For all other threads the function falls back to the generic inode permission check.
