[uml-devel] Re: [PATCH]: fix UML compilation breakage in fs/proc/task_mmu.c

[Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM>]

Hopefully correct version this time. In previous version it was possible
to call ->show() on non-initialized gate_vmarea (through m_next()). Just
call build_gate_map() at the beginning of the m_start().

At least now it works:

$ cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1
ffffe000-fffff000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 

I am not sure that this is best solution, because some utilities seems
to use /proc/*/maps extensively. Probably initialization should be moved
into initcall.

Nikita.
