[PATCH 2.6.13-rc6 2/2] New Syscall: set rlimits of any process (update)

Wieland Gmeiner
2005-08-18T01:02:29Z

This is the second of two patches, it implements the setprlimit()
syscall.

Implementation: This patch provides a new syscall setprlimit() for
writing a given process resource limits for i386. Its implementation
follows closely the setrlimit syscall. It is given a pid as an
additional argument. If the given pid equals zero the current process
rlimits are written and the behaviour resembles the behaviour of
setrlimit. Otherwise some checking on the validity of the given pid is
done and if the given process is found access is granted if
- the calling process holds the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability or
- the calling process uid equals the uid, euid, suid of the target
process and the calling process gid equals the gid, egid, sgid of
the target process.
(This resembles the behaviour of the ptrace system call.)

Simple programs for testing the syscalls can be found on
