[PATCH RFC v2 5/6] proc: instantiate only pids that we can ptrace on 'limit_pids=1' mount option

From: Djalal Harouni
Date: Tue Apr 25 2017 - 08:25:45 EST


If "limit_pids=1" mount option is set then do not instantiate pids that
we can not ptrace. "limit_pids=1" means that procfs should only contain
pids that the caller can ptrace.
