This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.
I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because
$(CC) may not provide libc.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Initialize pidfd to an invalid descriptor, to fail gracefully on
those kernels that do not implement CLONE_PIDFD and leave pidfd
unchanged.

Define __NR_pidfd_send_signal if it isn't to prevent a compilation error.
To make pidfd-metadata compile on all arches, irrespective of whether
or not syscall numbers are assigned, define the syscall number to -1.
If it isn't defined this will cause the kernel to return -ENOSYS.

Ignore the pidfd-metadata binary so it doesn't show up in unwanted
scenarios.

This is a sample program showing userspace how to get race-free access
to process metadata from a pidfd. It is rather easy to do and userspace
can actually simply reuse code that currently parses a process's status
file in procfs.
The program can easily be extended into a generic helper suitable for
inclusion in a libc to make it even easier for userspace to gain metadata
access.
Since this came up in a discussion because this API is going to be used
in various service managers: A lot of programs will have a whitelist
seccomp filter that returns <some-errno> for all new syscalls. This
means that programs might get confused if CLONE_PIDFD works but the
later pidfd_send_signal() syscall doesn't. Hence, here's a ahead of
time check that pidfd_send_signal() is supported:
bool pidfd_send_signal_supported()
{
int procfd = open("/proc/self", O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
if (procfd < 0)
return false;
/*
* A process is always allowed to signal itself so
* pidfd_send_signal() should never fail this test. If it does
* it must mean it is not available, blocked by an LSM, seccomp,
* or other.
*/
return pidfd_send_signal(procfd, 0, NULL, 0) == 0;
}
