…ppid The initial goal of fork-tester.c is to test that subchild (child2) find systemd pid has new parent with hardcoded pid 1. But we can produce the same behaviour by controlling the new parent of a subchild process when his parent dies by using `PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER`. The main process register as reaper, which means that any childrens and childrens of childrens will have this main process as parent when their closest parent dies. So here with have main process as reaper, child1 creates a subchild (child2) then dies. But child2 is no more orphan with systemd as parent, main process catch it. This add more control over the process tree and should work for any cases. Signed-off-by: Tristan d'Audibert <[email protected]>
This update comes after updating the `fork-tester.c`. The parent inherent grand children child 2 when child 1 dies. In order to ensure that this specific behaviour occurs, we need to compare parent PID with new parent PID of child 2 which is suppose to be parent PID instead of child PID.

Fix #3148
Description
A nil pointer is returned by
ctx.Err()becausectxis not done when the error is displayed.More details
On some distributions, like Archlinux, systemd run with the flag
--user. Thus, makes the user manager process a child of systemd process 1. So when you search for PPID, it will always be this child process.According to the documentation below, systemd expose an environnement variable to help finding this children. So if we compare the value of this environment variable with the ppid, we should get the same result as doing
ppid == 1https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.exec.html#%24MANAGERPID
