SafeSetID gates the setid family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID
transitions from a given UID/GID to only those approved by a
system-wide whitelist. These restrictions also prohibit the given
UIDs/GIDs from obtaining auxiliary privileges associated with
CAP_SET{U/G}ID, such as allowing a user to set up user namespace UID
mappings. For now, only gating the set*uid family of syscalls is
supported, with support for set*gid coming in a future patch set.

Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious
mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module.
The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate
the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar
interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did
likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the
security "context" of the process, but it will be different
depending on the security module you're using.
This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for
Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in
this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting
SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the
old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case
may be) as before.
The proposed S.A.R.A security module is dependent on
the mechanism to create its own attr subdirectory.
The original implementation is by Kees Cook.

Current phrasing is ambiguous since it's unclear if attaching to a
children through PTRACE_TRACEME requires CAP_SYS_PTRACE. Rephrase the
sentence to make that clear.

The apparmor information in the apparmor.rst file is out of date.
Update it to the correct git reference for the master apparmor tree.
Update the wiki location to use apparmor.net which forwards to the
current wiki location on gitlab.com. Update user space tools address
to gitlab.com.

The existing LSM.txt file covered both usage and development, so split
this into two files, one under admin-guide and one under kernel
development.
