[$] As ye clone(), so shall ye AUTOREAP

The facilities provided by the kernel for the management of processes have
evolved considerably in the last few years, driven mostly by the advent of
the pidfd API. A pidfd is a file
descriptor that refers to a process; unlike a process ID, a pidfd is an
unambiguous handle for a process; that makes it a safer, more deterministic
way of operating on processes. Christian Brauner, who has driven much of
the pidfd-related work, is proposing
two new flags
for the clone3()
system call, one of which changes the kernel’s security model in a
somewhat controversial way.
