Hi Shuah,

This patchset was raised to fix below TODO:

"If we're already root, we could skip creating the userns."

Without this patchset, function create_and_enter_ns(),
at this path --> tools/testing/selftests/capabilities/test_execve.c
was as mentioned below:

static bool create_and_enter_ns(uid_t inner_uid)
{
   ....
   if (unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) == 0) {
       ....   
    } else if (unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) == 0) {
       ....
     } else {
                ksft_exit_skip("must be root or be able to create a userns\n");
     }

     ...
}

To fix the TODO, above mentioned if block is executed if root user,
for normal user it enters inside 'else if' block.

Thanks,
Swarup
