Re: procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


I tried out the map_files directory in v3.3, stumbling upon a few 
things:

/proc> echo $$
1724
/proc> cd 1724/map_files/
/proc/1724/map_files> ls
ls: reading directory .: Permission denied
/proc/1724/map_files> ls -dl .

By all means, I have the permission - according to stat.

Also, not all mappings - in particular, anonymous mappings - seem to be 
represented:

Having symlinks into anonmaps would provide for an interesting type
of debug/insight without having to resort to ptracting, just as
/proc/X/fd/Y is when the file behind Y is nlink=0.
