[PATCH] Show thread_info->flags in /proc/PID/status

[Roland McGrath]

It comes up as useful in debugging to be able to see task->thread_info->flags
along with signal information and such.  There is no way currently to
elicit these bits from the kernel via sysrq or /proc (AFAIK).
This patch adds the field to /proc/PID/status.


Thanks,
Roland
