AFAIK pivot_root() changes the / mapping for *all* processes, no?

The manual page is confusing. It even admits to being "intentionally vague". However the goal seems clear:

   "pivot_root() moves the root file system of the current process to
   the directory put_old and makes new_root the new root file system of
   the current process"
   -- man 2 pivot_root

There's an argument that pivot_root could be improved...
