Right now bprm_fill_uid() uses inode fetched from file_inode(bprm->file).
This in turn returns inode of lower filesystem (in a stacked filesystem
setup).
I was playing with modified patches of shiftfs posted by james bottomley
and realized that through shiftfs setuid bit does not take effect. And
reason being that we fetch uid/gid from inode of lower fs (and not from
shiftfs inode). And that results in following checks failing.
/* We ignore suid/sgid if there are no mappings for them in the ns */
if (!kuid_has_mapping(bprm->cred->user_ns, uid) ||
!kgid_has_mapping(bprm->cred->user_ns, gid))
return;
uid/gid fetched from lower fs inode might not be mapped inside the user
namespace of container. So we need to look at uid/gid fetched from
upper filesystem (shiftfs in this particular case) and these should be
mapped and setuid bit can take affect.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
