    uprobes: Use vm_special_mapping to name the XOL vma · 704bde3c
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    Change xol_add_vma() to use _install_special_mapping(), this way
    we can name the vma installed by uprobes. Currently it looks
    like private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and
    complicates the debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps
    reports "[uprobes]".
    
    As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include the XOL vma
    and I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if
    the app crashed because it was probed.
