// This class uses the chroot(2) system call and Linux namespaces to
// revoke the process's access to the filesystem.  It requires that
// the process be able to create user namespaces; this is the
// kHasUserNamespaces in SandboxInfo.h.
//
// Usage: call Prepare() from a thread with CAP_SYS_CHROOT in its
// effective capability set, then later call Invoke() when ready to
// drop filesystem access.  Prepare() creates a thread to do the
// chrooting, so the caller can (and should!) drop its own
// capabilities afterwards.  When Invoke() returns, the thread will
// have exited.
//
// (Exception: on Android/B2G <= KitKat, because of how pthread_join
// is implemented, the thread may still exist, but it will not have
// capabilities.  Accordingly, on such systems, be careful about
// namespaces or other resources the thread might have inherited.)
//
// Prepare() can fail (return false); for example, if it doesn't have
// CAP_SYS_CHROOT or if it can't create a directory to chroot into.
//
// The root directory will be empty and deleted, so the process will
// not be able to create new entries in it regardless of permissions.
