task.netns is always changed from a task goroutine under task.mu.
It means that we can access it without any locks from a task goroutine
we don't need to increment a reference counter in such cases.
In all other cases, we need to take task.mu.

This change introduces the nsfs file system. Each new namespace allocates
a new nsfs inode.
Here are reasons why we need these inodes:
* each namespace has to have an unique id.
* proc/pid/ns/ contains one entry for each namespace. Bind mounting one of
the files in this directory to somewhere else in the filesystem keeps the
corresponding namespace alive even if all processes currently in
the namespace terminate.
* setns() allows the calling process to join an existing namespace specified
by a file descriptor.

Setting t.tg.exiting during PrepareGroupExit prevents a SIGKILL that
arrives while the task is zombied from changing the exit status (see
ThreadGroup.applySignalSideEffectsLocked).
However, PrepareExit does not set t.tg.exiting, meaning that if the last
task exits via exit(2), then a SIGKILL _can_ change the exit status.
This does not match Linux.
Fix this by detecting that we are the last task in PrepareExit and, if
so, going through the PrepareGroupExit path.
My initial version of this CL had Task.exitThreadGroup set t.tg.exiting
if it wasn't already set. This leaves a small window between return from
exit(2) and the start of the runExit state where a SIGKILL could still
change the exit status. While this window likely doesn't matter much in
practice, I suspect it is observable via ptrace, which could see exit(2)
return and assume that the exit status is fixed. I didn't test this
case, but figured it would be cleaner to just close the race window.
Fixes#7930.
This avoids requiring a lock in `ThreadGroup.ID`, which in turn breaks the
following lock cycle:
`kernel.taskSetRWMutex` -> `kernel.taskMutex` -> `mm.metadataMutex`
-> `mm.mappingRWMutex` -> `kernel.taskSetRWMutex`
(Also, less locking within `createVMALocked` is probably for the better in
general.)

Two security messages points are PointCloneProcess and PointExitNotifyParent
(see pkg/sentry/seccheck/seccheck.go).
Both of these should only trigger when we have a process starting or exiting
respectively. Becuase of this, only send a start message if "clone()" is
called without CLONE_THREAD set, and only send an exit message if the thread
group (read: process) is exiting.

Given that in most cases points are serialized to another process,
point data is now created diretly into protos.
As part of this change, infrastructure to track optional and context
fields was created to facilitate addition of lots of Points which is
needed for upcomming of changes.
Updates #4805
Currently the SST code is converting seccheck protos into SST protos
in the sentry before sending it to the API. After this change, SST
checker will be changed to send seccheck protos to the API and the
API then converts these into SST on the way to pubsub.

Instead of passing the event mask at registratrion time, pass the mask as part
of the waiter. This makes the mask immutable and simplifies the architecture of
waiters. This is also necessary for a future fix that will allow the fdnotifier
to keep persistent entries, as opposed to requiring constant updates.
This change is intended to be a no-op in terms of function. The only exception
is signalfd, where this mask was abused. To handle this case, the operation of
signalfd changed to allow one layer of indirection.

Removes package syserror and moves still relevant code to either linuxerr
or to syserr (to be later removed).
Internal errors are converted from random types to *errors.Error types used
in linuxerr. Internal errors are in linuxerr/internal.go.

Restrict ptrace(2) according to the default configurations of the YAMA security
module (mode 1), which is a common default among various Linux distributions.
The new access checks only permit the tracer to proceed if one of the following
conditions is met:
a) The tracer is already attached to the tracee.
b) The target is a descendant of the tracer.
c) The target has explicitly given permission to the tracer through the
PR_SET_PTRACER prctl.
d) The tracer has CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
See security/yama/yama_lsm.c for more details.
Note that these checks are added to CanTrace, which is checked for
PTRACE_ATTACH as well as some other operations, e.g., checking a process'
memory layout through /proc/[pid]/mem.
Since this patch adds restrictions to ptrace, it may break compatibility for
applications run by non-root users that, for instance, rely on being able to
trace processes that are not descended from the tracer (e.g., `gdb -p`). YAMA
restrictions can be turned off by setting /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
to 0, or exceptions can be made on a per-process basis with the PR_SET_PTRACER
prctl.

This reduces confusion with context.Context (which is also relevant to
kernel.Tasks) and is consistent with existing function kernel.LoadTaskImage().

All shm segments in an IPC namespace should be released once that namespace is
destroyed. Add reference counting to IPCNamespace so that once the last task
with a reference on it exits, we can trigger a destructor that will clean up
all shm segments that have not been explicitly freed by the application.

In Linux, a kernel configuration is set that compiles the kernel with a
custom function that is called at the beginning of every basic block, which
updates the memory-mapped coverage information. The Go coverage tool does not
allow us to inject arbitrary instructions into basic blocks, but it does
provide data that we can convert to a kcov-like format and transfer them to
userspace through a memory mapping.
Note that this is not a strict implementation of kcov, which is especially
tricky to do because we do not have the same coverage tools available in Go
that that are available for the actual Linux kernel. In Linux, a kernel
configuration is set that compiles the kernel with a custom function that is
called at the beginning of every basic block to write program counters to the
kcov memory mapping. In Go, however, coverage tools only give us a count of
basic blocks as they are executed. Every time we return to userspace, we
collect the coverage information and write out PCs for each block that was
executed, providing userspace with the illusion that the kcov data is always
up to date. For convenience, we also generate a unique synthetic PC for each
block instead of using actual PCs. Finally, we do not provide thread-specific
coverage data (each kcov instance only contains PCs executed by the thread
owning it); instead, we will supply data for any file specified by --
instrumentation_filter.
Also, fix issue in nogo that was causing pkg/coverage:coverage_nogo
compilation to fail.

This renames FDMap to FDTable and drops the kernel.FD type, which had an entire
package to itself and didn't serve much use (it was freely cast between types,
and served as more of an annoyance than providing any protection.)
Based on BenchmarkFDLookupAndDecRef-12, we can expect 5-10 ns per lookup
operation, and 10-15 ns per concurrent lookup operation of savings.
This also fixes two tangential usage issues with the FDMap. Namely, non-atomic
use of NewFDFrom and associated calls to Remove (that are both racy and fail to
drop the reference on the underlying file.)

If there are thousands of threads, ThreadGroupsAppend becomes very
expensive as it must iterate over all Tasks to find the ThreadGroup
leaders.
Reduce the cost by maintaining a map of ThreadGroups which can be used
to grab them all directly.
The one somewhat visible change is to convert PID namespace init
children zapping to a group-directed SIGKILL, as Linux did in
82058d668465 "signal: Use group_send_sig_info to kill all processes in a
pid namespace".
In a benchmark that creates N threads which sleep for two minutes, we
see approximately this much CPU time in ThreadGroupsAppend:
Before:
1 thread: 0ms
1024 threads: 30ms - 9130ms
4096 threads: 50ms - 2000ms
8192 threads: 18160ms
16384 threads: 17210ms
After:
1 thread: 0ms
1024 threads: 0ms
4096 threads: 0ms
8192 threads: 0ms
16384 threads: 0ms
The profiling is actually extremely noisy (likely due to cache effects),
as some runs show almost no samples at 1024, 4096 threads, but obviously
this does not scale to lots of threads.
