Unless --no-pivot or the equivalent API flag is set, try to pivot_root() to enter the rootfs during Run(). Fall back to using chroot() as before if that fails for any reason.
What type of PR is this?
/kind design
What this PR does / why we need it:
When using chroot isolation, if we can pivot_root() instead of using chroot() for running the command, do that, because it's closer to what a proper runtime can do.
How to verify it
Extended unit tests!
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
None
Special notes for your reviewer:
We still need chroot() for things like unpacking layers while pulling images, so if you're hoping this means we no longer ever need CAP_SYS_CHROOT, sorry.
Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?
