Subject[RFC][PATCH] um: Remove proc command from mconsole
Date
This feature is another abuser of set_fs().
Reading proc files from the host side is a debugging feature
with no security checks at all. The path is not sanitized, therefore
any file could be read.
Let's get rid of it.

Hi!

Unless I miss something is feature is not ABI since it was addeded for
debugging UML only. It is broken wrt. security and abuses set_fs().
I think we can just remove it.

mconsole_proc anyone? ;)

Thanks,
//richard
