In case of a per-UID buffer, events following a change of user ID should be
forwarded to buffers of the new UID. In order to do so, we add a wrapper around
setuid(3), setreuid(3) and setresuid(2) that unregister and re-register the
application from the session daemon.

While there exist some other functions such as seteuid(3) or setfsuid(2), we
don't need to add a wrapper for them since they do not edit the real user ID,
the actual ID returned by getuid(3) and used for creating the buffers.

 daemons closing all file descriptors after man:fork(2), and buggy
 applications doing ``double-closes''.
 
+Using LTTng-UST with applications that change user
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If your application is traced using per-UID buffers and changes user ID using
+man:setuid(2), the library `liblttng-ust-setuid.so` needs to be preloaded
+before starting the application with the `LD_PRELOAD` environment variable (see
+man:ld.so(8)). This way, events generated after the UID change will be 
forwarded
+to the correct buffer.
+
+This workaround requires that the tracing session be global (root
+lttng-sessiond) in order to avoid permission problems between a session
+daemon started by another user.
