From 289f8e27ed435dcbefad132def06f4e84351e94f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 14:02:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] capabilities: add bounding set to /proc/self/status There is currently no way to query the bounding set of another task. As there appears to be no security reason not to, and as Michael Kerrisk points out the following valid reasons to do so exist: * consistency (I can see all of the other per-thread/process sets in /proc/.../status) * debugging -- I could imagine that it would make the job of debugging an application that uses capabilities a little simpler. this patch adds the bounding set to /proc/self/status right after the effective set.
