[PATCH] proc: Make /proc/<pid>/io world readable

From: Daniel Xu
Date: Thu Nov 21 2019 - 16:09:44 EST


/proc/<pid>/io is currently only owner readable. This forces monitoring
programs (such as atop) to run with elevated permissions to collect disk
stats. Changing this file to world readable can add a measure of safety to
userspace.
