func init() {
	// The startup thread of a process is special in a few different ways.
	// Most pertinent to the discussion at hand, any per-thread kernel state
	// reflected in the /proc/[pid]/ directory for a process is taken from
	// the state of the startup thread. Same goes for /proc/self/; it shows
	// the state of the current process' startup thread, no matter which
	// thread the files are being opened from. For most programs this is a
	// distinction without a difference as the kernel state, such as the
	// mount namespace and current working directory, is shared among (and
	// kept synchronized across) all threads of a process. But things start
	// to break down once threads start unsharing and modifying parts of
	// their kernel state.
	//
	// The Go runtime schedules goroutines to execute on the startup thread,
	// same as any other. How this could be problematic is best illustrated
	// with a concrete example. Consider what happens if a call to
	// Go(unix.CLONE_NEWNS, ...) spawned a goroutine which gets scheduled
	// onto the startup thread. The thread's mount namespace will be
	// unshared and modified. The contents of the /proc/[pid]/mountinfo file
	// will then describe the mount tree of the unshared namespace, not the
	// namespace of any other thread. It will remain this way until the
	// process exits. (The startup thread is special in another way: exiting
	// it puts the process into a "non-waitable zombie" state. To avoid this
	// fate, the Go runtime parks the thread instead of exiting if a
	// goroutine returns while locked to the startup thread. More
	// information can be found in the Go runtime sources:
	// `go doc -u -src runtime.mexit`.) The github.com/moby/sys/mountinfo
	// package reads from /proc/self/mountinfo, so will read the mount tree
	// for the wrong namespace if the startup thread has had its mount
	// namespace unshared! The /proc/thread-self/ directory, introduced in
	// Linux 3.17, is one potential solution to this problem, but every
	// package which opens files in /proc/self/ would need to be updated,
	// and fallbacks to /proc/self/task/[tid]/ would be required to support
	// older kernels. Overlooking any reference to /proc/self/ would
	// manifest as stochastically-reproducible bugs, so this is far from an
	// ideal solution.
	//
	// Reading from /proc/self/ would not be a problem if we could prevent
	// the per-thread state of the startup thread from being modified
	// nondeterministically in the first place. We can accomplish this
	// simply by locking the main() function to the startup thread! Doing so
	// excludes any other goroutine from being scheduled on the thread.

// Go calls the given functions in a new goroutine, locked to an OS thread,
// which has had the parts of its execution state disassociated from the rest of
// the current process using [unshare(2)]. It blocks until the new goroutine has
// started and setupfn has returned. fn is only called if setupfn returns nil. A
// nil setupfn or fn is equivalent to passing a no-op function.
//
// The disassociated execution state and any changes made to it are only visible
// to the goroutine which the functions are called in. Any other goroutines,
// including ones started from the function, will see the same execution state
// as the rest of the process.
//
// The acceptable flags are documented in the [unshare(2)] Linux man-page.
// The corresponding CLONE_* constants are defined in package [unix].
//
// # Warning
//
// This function may terminate the thread which the new goroutine executed on
// after fn returns, which could cause subprocesses started with the
// [syscall.SysProcAttr] Pdeathsig field set to be signaled before process
// termination. Any subprocess started before this function is called may be
// affected, in addition to any subprocesses started inside setupfn or fn.
// There are more details at https://go.dev/issue/27505.
