For a small class of applications this change breaks userspace and removes useful functionality. This small class of applications includes tools/testing/selftests/mount/unprivilged-remount-test.c Most of the removed functionality will be added back with the addition of a one way knob to disable setgroups. Once setgroups is disabled setting the gid_map becomes as safe as setting the uid_map. For more common applications that set the uid_map and the gid_map with privilege this change will have no affect. This is part of a fix for CVE-2014-8989.
