[LTP] [PATCH STAGING 05/16] fchroot02: test fchroot() invalid arguments

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Verify the fchroot() error paths: a non-zero flags argument fails with
EINVAL before anything else, an invalid fd fails with EBADF, including
the FD_PIDFS_ROOT and FD_NSFS_ROOT sentinels, and a fd referring to a
regular file fails with ENOTDIR. All these checks happen before the
CAP_SYS_CHROOT check, so no privileges are needed.

+ * Test the :manpage:`fchroot(2)` error paths for invalid arguments.
+ *
+ * fchroot() was introduced in Linux v7.3. The syscall checks its arguments
+ * in this order:
+ *
+ * - a non-zero flags argument fails with EINVAL before anything else,
+ * including with the FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel and with an invalid fd
+ * - an invalid fd fails with EBADF, including the FD_PIDFS_ROOT and
+ * FD_NSFS_ROOT sentinels which fchroot() does not accept
+ * - a fd referring to a regular file fails with ENOTDIR
+ *
+ * All these checks happen before the CAP_SYS_CHROOT check, so the test
+ * needs no privileges.
