[PATCH v2 0/2] Introduce CABA helper process tree

[Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com>]

Please see "Add CABA tree to task_struct" for deeper explanation, and
"tests: Add CABA selftest" for a small test and an actual case for which
we might need CABA.

Probably the original problem of restoring process tree with complex
sessions can be resolved by allowing sessions copying, like we do for
process group, but I'm not sure if that would be too secure to do it,
and if there would not be another similar resource in future.

We can use CABA not only for CRIU for restoring processes, in normal
life when processes detach CABA will help to understand from which place
in process tree they were originally started from sshd/crond or
something else.

Hope my idea is not completely insane =)
