Based on a patch from Steven McDonald <steven@steven-mcdonald.id.au>:
This makes 'unshare --user' work correctly in the case where the user's
shell is provided by busybox itself.
'unshare --user' creates a new user namespace without any uid mappings.
As a result, /bin/busybox is setuid nobody:nogroup within the
namespace, as that is the only user. However, since no uids are mapped,
attempting to call setgid/setuid fails, even though this would do
nothing:
$ unshare --user ./busybox.broken ash
ash: setgid: Invalid argument
'unshare --map-root-user' still works, but because Linux only allows
uid/gid mappings to be set up once, creating a root mapping makes such
a namespace useless for creating multi-user containers.
With this patch, setgid and setuid will not be called in the case where
they would do nothing, which is always the case inside a new user
namespace because all uids are effectively mapped to nobody:
$ id -u
1000
$ ls -lh busybox.fixed
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 826.2K May 21 00:33 busybox.fixed
$ unshare --user ./busybox.fixed ash
$ id -u

"""
For example, given input file:
foo
bar
baz
after shuffling the input file, foo will never end up back on the first line.
This came to light when I ran into a use-case where someone was selecting
a random line from a file using shuf | head -n 1, and the results on busybox
were showing a statistical anomaly (as in, the first line would never ever
be picked) vs the same process running on environments that had gnu coreutils
installed.
On line https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/coreutils/shuf.c#n56 it uses
r %= i, which will result in 0 <= r < i, while the algorithm specifies
0 <= r <= i.

Some watchdog implementations may do things other than issue
a reboot on a watchdog timeout. In this case, there's the
possibility of restarting this program from the state of
the watchdog device not being properly stopped (done by writing
a 'V' and closing the device). Since it wasn't stopped, the
driver may not be able to restart the watchdog when this program
reopens it and starts pinging it.
To fix this, the code will always first issue the stop when it
starts up.

With Linux 4.3, a new set of capabilities has been introduced with the
ambient capabilities. These aim to solve the problem that it was
impossible to grant run programs with elevated privileges across
non-root users. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities that are preserved across an execve(2)
of a program that is not privileged. The ambient capability set
obeys the invariant that no capability can ever be ambient if it is
not both permitted and inheritable.
With this new set of capabilities it is now possible to run an
executable with elevated privileges as a different user, making it much
easier to do proper privilege separation.
Note though that the `--ambient-caps` switch is not part of any released
version of util-linux, yet. It has been applied in 0c92194ee (setpriv:
support modifying the set of ambient capabilities, 2017-06-24) and will
probably be part of v2.31.

The main use case of setpriv is to modify the current state of
privileges available to the calling process and spawn a new executable
with the modified, new state. Next to the already supported case of
modifying the no-new-privs flag, util-linux also supports to modify
capability sets.
This commit introduces to add or drop capabilities from the set of
inheritable capabilities. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities preserved across an execve(2).
Inheritable capabilities remain inheritable when executing any
program, and inheritable capabilities are added to the permitted set
when executing a program that has the corresponding bits set in the
file inheritable set.
As such, inheritable capabilities enable executing files with certain
privileges if the file itself has these privileges set. Note though that
inheritable capabilities are dropped across execve when running as a
non-root user.

The setpriv executable from util-linux also dumps out information on the
different capability sets known by the kernel. By default, these are the
inheritable capabilities, bounding capabilities and (not yet released)
the ambient capabilities, which have been introduced with Linux 4.3.
This patch introduces the ability to dump the set of inheritable
capabilities.
By default, setpriv(1) identifies capabilities by their human-readable
name, for example 'net_admin'. For unknown capabilities, though, it does
instead use the capability's value, for example 'cap_12', which is
equivalent to 'net_admin'. As there is no kernel interface to retrieve
capability names by their index, we have to declare these ourselves,
which adds to setpriv's size.
To counteract, using the human-readble name has been made configurable.
The following sizes are with the 'FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITY_NAMES'
enabled:

.rodata 145969 146405 +436
setpriv_main 467 842 +375
