Vincent Bernat c427bfec18 net: core: enable SO_BINDTODEVICE for non-root users 
Currently, SO_BINDTODEVICE requires CAP_NET_RAW. This change allows a
non-root user to bind a socket to an interface if it is not already
bound. This is useful to allow an application to bind itself to a
specific VRF for outgoing or incoming connections. Currently, an
application wanting to manage connections through several VRF need to
be privileged.

Previously, IP_UNICAST_IF and IPV6_UNICAST_IF were added for
Wine (76e21053b5 and c4062dfc42) specifically for use by
non-root processes. However, they are restricted to sendmsg() and not
usable with TCP. Allowing SO_BINDTODEVICE would allow TCP clients to
get the same privilege. As for TCP servers, outside the VRF use case,
SO_BINDTODEVICE would only further restrict connections a server could
accept.

When an application is restricted to a VRF (with `ip vrf exec`), the
socket is bound to an interface at creation and therefore, a
non-privileged call to SO_BINDTODEVICE to escape the VRF fails.

When an application bound a socket to SO_BINDTODEVICE and transmit it
to a non-privileged process through a Unix socket, a tentative to
change the bound device also fails.

Before:

    >>> import socket
    >>> s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    >>> s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BINDTODEVICE, b"dummy0")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

After:

    >>> import socket
    >>> s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    >>> s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BINDTODEVICE, b"dummy0")
    >>> s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BINDTODEVICE, b"dummy0")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
