Subject[RFC] c/r: prctl: Add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file
Hi guys,

at restore time we would like to have a way for /proc/pid/exe
symlink recovering. So I thought extending prctl might be
a good idea.

Still maybe there some other good and 'right' way to do it,
so I would like to gather opinions.

Please review, thanks!

Subject: [RFC] c/r: prctl: Add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup
a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would
point to the original executable file a process had at
checkpoint time.

For this sake PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced.

Note, if mm_struct::exe_file already mapped more than once
we refuse to change anything (which prevents kernel from
potential problems).
