Subject[PATCH v2 resend 09/12] proc: disable mem_write after exec
Date
This change makes mem_write() observe the same constraints as mem_read().  This
is particularly important for mem_write as an accidental leak of the fd across
an exec could result in arbitrary modification of the target process' memory.
IOW, /proc/pid/mem is implicitly close-on-exec.
