This ended up more complicated then expected. Lets start first with the problem to show why I am doing this: Currently we simply execute ps(1) in the container. This has some drawbacks. First, obviously you need to have ps(1) in the container image. That is no always the case especially in small images. Second, even if you do it will often be only busybox's ps which supports far less options. Now we also have psgo which is used by default but that only supports a small subset of ps(1) options. Implementing all options there is way to much work. Docker on the other hand executes ps(1) directly on the host and tries to filter pids with `-q` an option which is not supported by busybox's ps and conflicts with other ps(1) arguments. That means they fall back to full ps(1) on the host and then filter based on the pid in the output. This is kinda ugly and fails short because users can modify the ps output and it may not even include the pid in the output which causes an error. So every solution has a different drawback, but what if we can combine them somehow?! This commit tries exactly that. We use ps(1) from the host and execute that in the container's pid namespace. There are some security concerns that must be addressed: - mount the executable paths for ps and podman itself readonly to prevent the container from overwriting it via /proc/self/exe. - set NO_NEW_PRIVS, SET_DUMPABLE and PDEATHSIG - close all non std fds to prevent leaking files in that the caller had open - unset all environment variables to not leak any into the contianer Technically this could be a breaking change if somebody does not have ps on the host and only in the container but I find that very unlikely, we still have the exec in container fallback. Because this can be insecure when the contianer has CAP_SYS_PTRACE we still only use the podman exec version in that case. This updates the docs accordingly, note that podman pod top never falls back to executing ps in the container as this makes no sense with multiple containers so I fixed the docs there as well.
