Hi Oleg, could you please take a look once you get a minute (no urgency).

Subject: c/r: prctl: Add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file v3

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup
a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would
point to the original executable file a process had at
checkpoint time.

For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced.
This option takes a file descriptor which will be
set as new /proc/$pid/exe symlink.

This feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
