[PATCH] proc: Fix integer overflow of VmLib

From: Richard Weinberger
Date: Wed Jan 04 2017 - 18:38:18 EST


/proc/<pid>/status can report extremely high VmLib values which
will confuse monitoring tools.
VmLib is mm->exec_vm minus text size, where exec_vm is the number of
bytes backed by an executable memory mapping and text size is
mm->end_code - mm->start_code as set up by binfmt.

For the vast majority of all programs text size is smaller than exec_vm.
But if a program interprets binaries on its own the calculation result
can be negative.
UserModeLinux is such an example. It installs and removes lots of PROT_EXEC
mappings but mm->start_code and mm->start_code remain and VmLib turns
negative.

Fix this by detecting the overflow and just return 0.
For interpreting the value reported by VmLib is anyway useless but
returning 0 does at least not confuse userspace.
