Namespace isolation is now handled by using clone() at process creation time, rather than calling unshare. pthread_atfork will no longer apply to sandboxed child processes. The two significant uses of it in Firefox currently are to (1) make malloc work post-fork, which we already avoid depending on in IPC and sandboxing, and (2) block SIGPROF while forking, which is taken care of; see SandboxFork::Fork for details. Note that if we need pthread_atfork in the future it could be emulated by symbol interposition. clone() is called via glibc's wrapper, for increased compatibility vs. invoking the syscall directly, using longjmp to recover the syscall's fork-like semantics the same way Chromium does; see comments for details. The chroot helper is reimplemented; the general approach is similar, but instead of a thread it's a process cloned with CLONE_FS (so the filesystem root is shared) from the child process before it calls exec, so that it still holds CAP_SYS_CHROOT in the newly created user namespace. This does mean that it will retain a CoW copy of the parent's address space until the child starts sandboxing, but that is a relatively short period of time, so the memory overhead should be small and short-lived. The chrooting now happens *after* the seccomp-bpf policy is applied; previously this wasn't possible because the chroot thread would have become seccomp-restricted and unable to chroot. This fixes a potential race condition where a thread could try to access the filesystem after chrooting but before having its syscalls intercepted for brokering, causing spurious failure. (This failure mode hasn't been observed in practice, but we may not be looking for it.) This adds a hidden bool pref, security.sandbox.content.force-namespace, which unshares the user namespace (if possible) even if no sandboxing requires it. It defaults to true on Nightly and false otherwise, to get test coverage; the default will change to false once we're using namespaces by default with content.
