This is a freeze exception request for feedback for https://go.dev/cl/588675. This CL is fixing #67634, #67640, and #67641, which are issues with the new pidfd support added in https://go.dev/cl/570036 and https://go.dev/cl/570681.

Since these are regressions, I don't think a freeze exception is strictly necessary, however the fix is a fairly invasive overhaul of the internals of os.Process, which I'd say has a medium risk of introducing new problems. The alternative to submitting this fix now would be to revert the pidfd changes and try again when the dev cycles opens again.

I'm still wrapping my head around CL 588675 but overall it makes sense. At the very least #67634 is definitely a bad regression that could hit users hard.

Yes, this is the one issue where I am aware of actual failures (some tests inside Google fail). The others are just problems I noticed when fixing the first.

We reviewed this in a release meeting, and agreed to approve its "freeze exception" bit. Thanks for letting us know.
