Can you really clone() a pid namespace all by itself ?
copy_namespaces() has the following:


        if (!(flags & (CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWUTS | CLONE_NEWIPC | CLONE_NEWUSER)))
                return 0;
doesn't it mean you cannot create a pid namespace using clone() unless
one of the above flags are also specified ?

unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() has the following correct check:

        if (!(unshare_flags & (CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWUTS | CLONE_NEWIPC |
                               CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPIDS)))
                return 0;
BTW, why not use CLONE_NEWPID and drop the 'S' ? We don't have 'S' with
other namespaces.
