You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a
worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating
systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around
and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes.

Subject: [PATCH] respect Linux capabilities(7) in cache

The default GNU tar configuration does not carry fancy extended
attributes and that is where, among other things, stuff like Linux
capabilities(7) are stored. This is kind of important because that's
how ping(8) works for regular users.

We shove --selinux and --acls in there while we're at it, because why
not. We never know what the future might bring, and it seems
silly *not* to create a complete archive.

Note that --xattrs-include='*' is important because, by default, GNU
tar will not include capabilities /even/ if --xattrs is specified on
the commandline, see this bug report for details:
