Subject[PATCH] exec: Force binary name when argv is empty
Date
From: Hui Tang <tanghui20@huawei.com>

First run './execv-main execv-child', there is empty in 'COMMAND' column
when run 'ps -u'.

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY [...] TIME COMMAND
root 368 0.3 0.0 4388 764 ttyS0 0:00 ./execv-main
root 369 0.6 0.0 4520 812 ttyS0 0:00

The program 'execv-main' as follows:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *execv_argv[] = {NULL};
pid_t pid = fork();

if (pid == 0) {
execv(argv[1], execv_argv);
} else if (pid > 0) {
wait(NULL);
}
return 0;
}

So replace empty string ("") added with the name of binary
when calling execve with a NULL argv.

Fixes: dcd46d897adb ("exec: Force single empty string when argv is empty")
