Subject: fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a1eb2d474edfe75466be6b4677ad84e5e8ca3f5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat

Reporting these fields on a non-current task is dangerous.  If the
task is in any state other than normal kernel code, they may contain
garbage or even kernel addresses on some architectures.  (x86_64
used to do this.  I bet lots of architectures still do.)  With
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it can OOPS, too.

As far as I know, there are no use programs that make any material
use of these fields, so just get rid of them.
