Hi Kees,
what about this one? Note that these mm_struct members don't affect
kernel much (at least as far as I see, except maybe brk,start_brk and
start_stack values), so I've added some sanity checks here, hope they
would fit. Still main protection is root-only access only. The kernel
itself uses vma_area::start/end members for overlows tests internally
so I think even passing crazy data here won't crash the kernel itself.
What do you think?

prctl: Add PR_SET_MM codes to tune up mm_struct entires v2
A few members of mm_struct such as start_code, end_code,
start_data, end_data, start_stack, start_brk, brk provided
by the kernel via /proc/$pid/stat and we use it at checkpoint
time.
At restore time we need a mechanism to restore those values
back and for this sake PR_SET_MM prctl code is introduced.
Note because of being a dangerous operation this inteface
is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN only.
v2:
- Add a check for vma start address, testing for vma ending
address is not enough. From Kees Cook.
- Add some sanity tests for assigned addresses.
