The profile introspection seq file has a locking bug when policy is viewed
from a virtual root (task in a policy namespace, introspection from the
real root is not affected).
The test for root
while (parent) {
is correct for the real root, but incorrect for tasks in a policy namespace.
This allows the task to walk backup the policy tree past its virtual root
causing it to be unlocked before the virtual root should be in the p_stop
fn.
This results in the following lockdep back trace:

UBUNTU: SAUCE: apparmor: allocate path lookup buffers during init
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208988
dependency of: fix unix domain sockets to be mediated on connection needed to fix sleep in atomic context
Dynamically allocating buffers to store the path lookup slows mediation
down, and may require being able to sleep or accept failure of buffer
allocation. Handling fd inheritance during committing_creds, and unix
domain sockets can't fail nor can it sleep to do an allocation, so it
requires having preallocated buffers.
So add support for preallocated buffers and convert everything that
can be to use them.

Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
services. Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
re-parented to PID 1. The service manager will no longer be able to
receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
reaping the children with wait(). All information about the children is
lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.
With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
created by the started services. All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
to the service manager.
Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.
As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
'ps' output:
This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces. PID namespaces are isolated
from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
other.
Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
activates bus services on-demand. Both need init-like capabilities to
be able to properly keep track of the services they start.
Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.
