We discussed patch titled:
[PATCH] Make core_pattern support namespace
before.
Above patch can solve half problem of custom core_dump pattern
in container, but there are also another problem that limit
custom core_pattern in container, it is the pipe-type core_pattern
will write core dump into host's filesystem.
(See discussion of that patch for detail)
Now we can solve the second problem by [PATCH 1/2], I send
the origional patch with it.
Zhao Lei (2):
Run dump pipe in container's namespace
Make core_pattern support namespace

1.8.5.1
In current system, when we set core_pattern to a pipe, both pipe program
and program's output are in host's filesystem.
For example, when we set following core_pattern:
# echo "|/my_dump_pipe %s %c %p %u %g %t e" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
and trigger a segment fault in a container, my_dump_pipe is searched from
host's filesystem, and it will write coredump into host's filesystem too.
In a privileged container, user can crush host system by following command:
# # In a container
# echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
# make_dump
Actually, all operation in a container should not change host's
environment, the container should use core_pattern as its private setting.
In detail, in core dump action:
1: Search pipe program in container's fs namespace.
2: Run pipe program in container's fs namespace to write coredump to it.
This patch fixed above problem running pipe program in user process's
context instead of kthread.
Test:

1.8.5.1
Currently, each container shared one copy of coredump setting
with the host system, if host system changed the setting, each
running containers will be affected.
Moreover, it is not easy to let each container keeping their own
coredump setting.
We can use some workaround as pipe program to make the second
requirement possible, but it is not simple, and both host and
container are limited to set to fixed pipe program.
In one word, for host running contailer, we can't change core_pattern
anymore.
To make the problem more hard, if a host running more than one
container product, each product will try to snatch the global
coredump setting to fit their own requirement.
For container based on namespace design, it is good to allow
each container keeping their own coredump setting.
It will bring us following benefit:
1: Each container can change their own coredump setting
based on operation on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
2: Coredump setting changed in host will not affect
running containers.
3: Support both case of "putting coredump in guest" and
"putting curedump in host".
Each namespace-based software(lxc, docker, ..) can use this function
to custom their dump setting.
And this function makes each continer working as separate system,
it fit for design goal of namespace.
Test(in lxc):

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

Yes.
It is why we can search pipe-coredump in container's filesystem,
and let it write coredump into container's filesystem.

It changed core_pattern of pipe type in container.
In detail, for solution:
1: Using file type core_pattern: No changed
2: No container coredump support: No changed
3: Support container corecump using pipe: the pipe progeam should be placed in container instead of host
The container manager should modify setting to use new interface,
Or simply keep old habit by binding dump program and dump dir into container.

Actually we already have do_fork() as a wapper of _do_fork.
But it is used for compatibility with special platform and not always exist.
Maybe we can use kernel_thread() instead.

Let me know your design...
This patch does using fork+execve() rather than calling UMH in pipe-coredump pass.
And coredump-pipe process is run as a child of get-dumped process.
Right ?
Doesn't this break existing solution actually used in distro ?
BTW, it's first time for me to see that _do_fork() is called outside from fork.c.
Isn't it better to add a new func in fork.c if we really need this ?
