[rfc 1/2] [RFC] procfs: Add VmFlags field in smaps output

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Mon Oct 22 2012 - 15:20:17 EST


When we do restore VMA area after checkpoint we would like
to know if the area was locked or say it had mergeable attribute,
but at moment the kernel does not provide such information, thus
we can't figure out if we should call mlock/madvise on VMA restore.

This patch adds new VmFlags field to smaps output with vma->vm_flags
encoded.
