Hi,
while /proc/pid/children patch is still under review/rework other patches were fixed and I hope in good shape. The first one introduces CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE Kconfig symbol which should be a lever to turn on/off all c/r related features for those who not need it. In particular new prctl codes are covered by.
Eric pointed that /proc/<pid>/stat enhancement might be a dangerous one from user-space point of view, so while I've successfuly tested it, it doesn't mean I've covered every single user-space utility which might use this file, and if it's still considered to be pretty harmful change -- I'll hapily move to /proc/pid/statm or whatever. The only reason it was introduced in "stat" -- we already have mm->start_code and etc there, so I wanted to have them in one place, not sprinkled over several files.
Any complains are welcome as usual.
Cyrill
