3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b18cb64ead400c01bf1580eeba330ace51f8087d upstream.
This reverts more of:
b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps")
... which was partially reverted by:
65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation")
Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps.
In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for
threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range.
In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the
target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage
and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone:
KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running
ordinary process-context kernel code.
This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs
in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the
actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code,
and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs
that frequently switch stacks on their own.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: Squash in the earlier commits 58cb65487e92
"proc/maps: make vm_is_stack() logic namespace-friendly" and
65376df58217 "proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation",
which would introduce build failures if applied separately.]

The /proc/PID/smaps is an extension based on maps, showing the memory
consumption for each of the process's mappings. For each of mappings there
is a series of lines such as the following:
