Hi Linus, Andrew,
Would you have any objection to task-group specific stuff being split from the task_struct and placed into a refcounted structure of its own and shared upon CLONE_THREAD.
The fields I'm thinking of include:
struct linux_binfmt *binfmt unsigned long personality pid_t tgid struct task_struct *group_leader u32 parent_exec_id; u32 self_exec_id;
Should process credentials be shared?
I could then add the process/session keyring pointers from my patch to it too.
