fix(driver): export euid, egid and loginuid from init user ns#3000
Merged
Conversation
The kernel module currently exports euids, egids and loginuids as seen from the task's user namespace: this is inconsistent with the (expected) behaviour implemented by the modern eBPF probe, that exports the ones seen from the init user namespace. Make the kernel module consistent by fixing its code to export the ones seen from the init user namespace. Signed-off-by: Leonardo Di Giovanna <leonardodigiovanna1@gmail.com>
