proc: disable mem_write after exec
This change makes mem_write() observe the same constraints as mem_read(). This is particularly important for mem_write as an accidental leak of the fd across an exec could result in arbitrary modification of the target process' memory. IOW, /proc/pid/mem is implicitly close-on-exec. Signed-off-by: Stephen Wilson <wilsons@start.ca> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
