Konstantin Khlebnikov 8526d84f81 fs/proc/task_mmu.c: do not show VmExe bigger than total executable virtual memory
If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be
bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes
negative:

  VmExe:	  294320 kB
  VmLib:	18446744073709327564 kB

VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size.

Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of
executable and not writable and not stack areas.

I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole
world inside.  For it start_code ..  end_code range also covers one of
rodata sections.  Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader
or both.

Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus
we cannot trust them without validation.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
