Subject: [PATCH] rexec: make rexecution opt-in for library callers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

We cannot rexecute the liblxc shared library unconditionally as this would
break most of our downstreams. Here are some scenarios:
- anyone performing a dlopen() on the shared library (e.g. users of the LXC
  Python bindings)
- LXD as it needs to know the absolute path to its own executable based on
  /proc/self/exe etc.

This commit makes the rexecution of liblxc conditional on whether the
LXC_MEMFD_REXEC environment variable is set or not. If it is then liblxc is
unconditionally rexecuted.

The only relevant attack vector exists for lxc-attach which we simply reexecute
unconditionally.
