The time subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9, when
CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is enabled, allows local users to discover real PID
values (as distinguished from PID values inside a PID namespace) by reading
the /proc/timer_list file, related to the print_timer function in
kernel/time/timer_list.c and the __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
function in kernel/time/timer.c.
