with MMU, the [heap] (i.e. brk) and [stack] are different mappings.
under NOMMU, they're the same mapping, except that no one uses the brk
and the "heap" is really all of dynamic kernel memory. so we have to
avoid the brk/[heap] check and simply copy over the [stack] one:
} else if (mm) {
if (vma->vm_start <= mm->start_stack &&
vma->vm_end >= mm->start_stack) {
pad_len_spaces(m, len);
seq_puts(m, "[stack]");
}
}
the semi-annoying thing is that FLAT combines a whole lot of stuff
(including the stack) into the same mapping giving us the output:
root:/> cat /proc/155/maps
029f0000-029f9000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
but i guess this is no worse than the current ?
