fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks

2016-10-20T07:21:41Z

This reverts more of: b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc//maps") ... which was partially reverted by: 65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc//maps [stack:TID] annotation") Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps. In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range. In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone: KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running ordinary process-context kernel code. This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code, and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs that frequently switch stacks on their own.

autofs: update struct autofs_dev_ioctl in Documentation

2016-10-11T22:06:31Z

Sync with changes made by commit 730c9eeca980 ("autofs4: improve parameter usage") which introduced an union for various ioctl commands instead of having statically named arg1,2. This commit simply replaces arg1,2 with the corresponding fields without changing semantics.

autofs: fix Documentation regarding devid on ioctl

2016-10-11T22:06:31Z

The explanation on how ioctl handles devid seems incorrect. Userspace who calls this ioctl has no input regarding devid, and ioctl implementation retrieves devid via superblock.
