Subject: [resend][PATCH] Added PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA option for prctl()
ok, all lkml reviewer ack this patch.
then, I've switched to linux-api review.
Any comments?
==================================================
From: Timo Sirainen <tss@....fi>
Currently glibc2 doesn't have setproctitle(3), so several userland
daemons attempt to emulate it by doing some brutal stack modifications.
This works most of the time, but it has problems. For example:
% ps -ef |grep avahi-daemon
avahi 1679 1 0 09:20 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [kosadesk.local]
# cat /proc/1679/cmdline
avahi-daemon: running [kosadesk.local]
This looks good, but the process has also overwritten its environment
area and made the environ file useless:
# cat /proc/1679/environ
adesk.local]
Another problem is that the process title length is limited by the size of
the environment. Security conscious people try to avoid potential information
leaks by clearing most of the environment before running a daemon:
# env - MINIMUM_NEEDED_VAR=foo /path/to/daemon
The resulting environment size may be too small to fit the wanted process
titles.
This patch makes it possible for userspace to implement setproctitle()
cleanly. It adds a new PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA option for prctl(), which
updates task's mm_struct->arg_start and arg_end to the given area.
test_setproctitle.c
================================================
#define ERR(str) (perror(str), exit(1))
void settitle(char* title){
int err;
err = prctl(34, title, strlen(title)+1);
if (err < 0)
ERR("prctl ");
}
void main(void){
long i;
char buf[1024];
for (i = 0; i < 10000000000LL; i++){
sprintf(buf, "loooooooooooooooooooooooong string %d",i);
settitle(buf);
}
}
