Subject[PATCH] proc: protect mm start_code/end_code in /proc/pid/stat
While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit
f83ce3e6b02d5e48b3a43b001390e2b58820389d), the start_code and end_code
values were not. This would allow the text location of a PIE binary to
leak, defeating ASLR.

Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value
since "ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take
start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave. Thanks to
Brad Spengler for pointing this out.

CVE-2011-0726
