Linus Torvalds d26d0cd97c /proc/<pid>/cmdline: add back the setproctitle() special case
This makes the setproctitle() special case very explicit indeed, and
handles it with a separate helper function entirely.  In the process, it
re-instates the original semantics of simply stopping at the first NUL
character when the original last NUL character is no longer there.

[ The original semantics can still be seen in mm/util.c: get_cmdline()
  that is limited to a fixed-size buffer ]

This makes the logic about when we use the string lengths etc much more
obvious, and makes it easier to see what we do and what the two very
different cases are.

Note that even when we allow walking past the end of the argument array
(because the setproctitle() might have overwritten and overflowed the
original argv[] strings), we only allow it when it overflows into the
environment region if it is immediately adjacent.

[ Fixed for missing 'count' checks noted by Alexey Izbyshev ]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
