Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc: Add process text segment md5-summing
Adds /proc/<pid>/text_md5sum which, when read, calculates an md5sum over
the process' text segment. This can detect some cases where the system RAM
has been disturbed by e.g. ESD or cosmic radiation (on systems where ECC
is not available). It might also detect some accidental or malicious
modifications of executables, where the perpetrator has not bothered to
cover up the tracks.

I'm not sure which tree this should go into. I made this patch against
next-20121112.
I had some questions and posted this patch before to get them answered. See
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1428503.html for the comments I
received and my responses.
Changes since the post linked above:
* Fixed possible (probable!) crash due to not using get_task_mm()
to lock task->mm.
* Changed help text to clarify that this is not a security patch.
Thanks goes to the people commenting about this!
