[PATCH v3 07/10] mm: use mm->exe_file instead of first VM_EXECUTABLEvma->vm_file

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Tue Jul 31 2012 - 06:34:52 EST


Some security modules and oprofile still uses VM_EXECUTABLE for retrieving
task's executable file, after this patch they will use mm->exe_file directly.
mm->exe_file protected with mm->mmap_sem, so locking stays the same.
