OK, let's try this:


[PATCH 1/9] exec_path 1/9: introduce ->exec_path and switch /proc/*/exe

->exec_path marks executable which is associated with running task.
Binfmt loader decides which executable is such and can, in theory,
assign anything. Unlike current status quo when first VM_EXECUTABLE mapping is
sort of marks running executable.

If executable unmaps its all VM_EXECUTABLE mappings, /proc/*/exe ceases
to exists, ick! And userpsace can't even use MAP_EXECUTABLE.

Tasks which aren't created by running clone(2) and execve(2)
(read: kernel threads) get empty ->exec_path and

->exec_path is copied on clone(2) and put at do_exit() time.

->exec_path is going to replace struct mm_struct::exe_file et al
and allows to remove VM_EXECUTABLE flag while keeping readlink("/proc/*/exe")
without loop over all VMAs.
