[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5.1 7/8] os-posix: Provide new -runas <uid>:<gid> facility

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>]

This allows the caller to specify a uid and gid to use, even if there
is no corresponding password entry.  This will be useful in certain
Xen configurations.

We don't support just -runas <uid> because: (i) deprivileging without
calling setgroups would be ineffective (ii) given only a uid we don't
know what gid we ought to use (since uids may eppear in multiple
passwd file entries with different gids).

Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com>
---
v5: Use : rather than . to separate uid from gid
v4: Changed to reuse option -runas
v3: Error messages fixed.  Thanks to Peter Maydell and Ross Lagerwall.
v2: Coding style fixes.

squash! os-posix: Provide new -runas <uid>.<gid> facility
