Introduce a new flag FAN_REPORT_PIDFD for fanotify_init(2) which allows userspace applications to control whether a pidfd information record containing a pidfd is to be returned alongside the generic event metadata for each event. If FAN_REPORT_PIDFD is enabled for a notification group, an additional struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object type will be supplied alongside the generic struct fanotify_event_metadata for a single event. This functionality is analogous to that of FAN_REPORT_FID in terms of how the event structure is supplied to a userspace application. Usage of FAN_REPORT_PIDFD with FAN_REPORT_FID/FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME is permitted, and in this case a struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object will likely follow any struct fanotify_event_info_fid object. Currently, the usage of the FAN_REPORT_TID flag is not permitted along with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD as the pidfd API currently only supports the creation of pidfds for thread-group leaders. Additionally, usage of the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD flag is limited to privileged processes only i.e. event listeners that are running with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. Attempting to supply the FAN_REPORT_TID initialization flags with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD or creating a notification group without CAP_SYS_ADMIN will result with -EINVAL being returned to the caller. In the event of a pidfd creation error, there are two types of error values that can be reported back to the listener. There is FAN_NOPIDFD, which will be reported in cases where the process responsible for generating the event has terminated prior to the event listener being able to read the event. Then there is FAN_EPIDFD, which will be reported when a more generic pidfd creation error has occurred when fanotify calls pidfd_create().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
