The patch titled
Subject: procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/status
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
procfs-expose-umask-in-proc-pid-status.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/status
It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.
Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains
the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for
tasks which have task->fs.
This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.
The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird
umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then everything
breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add debugging to
our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports.
Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read your
own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of push-back
from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.
