There are many basic ways to control processes, including
capabilities,
cgroups and resource limits. However, there are far fewer ways to find
out useful values for the limits, except blind trial and error.
Currently, there is no way to know which capabilities are actually used.
Even the source code is only implicit, in-depth knowledge of each
capability must be used when analyzing a program to judge which
capabilities the program will exercise.
Generate an audit message at system call exit, when capabilities are used.
This can then be used to configure capability sets for services by a
software developer, maintainer or system administrator.
Test case demonstrating basic capability monitoring with the new
message types 1330 and 1331 and how the cgroups are displayed (boot to
rdshell):
You totally miss the interactions with the user namespace so this won't
give you the information you are aiming for.
