libutil: Fix restoring mount namespace
I regularly pass around simple scripts by using nix-shell as the script
interpreter, eg. like this:
#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -p dd_rescue coreutils bash -i bash
While this works most of the time, I recently had one occasion where it
would not and the above would result in the following:
$ sudo ./myscript.sh
bash: ./myscript.sh: No such file or directory
Note the "sudo" here, because this error only occurs if we're root.
The reason for the latter is because running Nix as root means that we
can directly access the store, which makes sure we use a filesystem
namespace to make the store writable. XXX - REWORD!
So when stracing the process, I stumbled on the following sequence:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/ns/mnt", O_RDONLY) = 3
unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) = 0
... later ...
getcwd("/the/real/cwd", 4096) = 14
setns(3, CLONE_NEWNS) = 0
getcwd("/", 4096) = 2
In the whole strace output there are no calls to chdir() whatsoever, so
I decided to look into the kernel source to see what else could change
directories and found this[1]:
/* Update the pwd and root */
set_fs_pwd(fs, &root);
set_fs_root(fs, &root);
The set_fs_pwd() call is roughly equivalent to a chdir() syscall and
this is called when the setns() syscall is invoked[2].
