A common pattern when using pidfds is having to get information about the process, which currently requires /proc being mounted, resolving the fd to a pid, and then do manual string parsing of /proc/N/status and friends. This needs to be reimplemented over and over in all userspace projects (e.g.: it has been reimplemented in systemd, dbus, dbus-daemon, polkit so far), and requires additional care in checking that the fd is still valid after having parsed the data, to avoid races. Having a programmatic API that can be used directly removes all these requirements, including having /proc mounted. As discussed at LPC24, add an ioctl with an extensible struct so that more parameters can be added later if needed. Start with returning pid/tgid/ppid and some creds unconditionally, and cgroupid optionally" * tag 'vfs-6.13.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: pidfd: add ioctl to retrieve pid info |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
