This updated patch against 2.5.69 merges the readdir and lookup routines
for proc_base and proc_attr, fixes the copy_to_user call in
proc_attr_read and proc_info_read, moves the new data and code within
CONFIG_SECURITY, and uses ARRAY_SIZE, per the comments from Al Viro and
Andrew Morton. As before, this patch implements a process attribute API
for security modules via a set of nodes in a /proc/pid/attr directory.
Credit for the idea of implementing this API via /proc/pid/attr nodes
goes to Al Viro. Jan Harkes provided a nice cleanup of the
implementation to reduce the code bloat.
