[PATCH 2/3] uml: Create a private mount of proc for mconsole

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-28 20:20:59
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-security-module, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, user-mode linux (uml) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Richard Weinberger, Anton Ivanov, Johannes Berg

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

The mconsole code only ever accesses proc for the initial pid
namespace.  Instead of depending upon the proc_mnt which is
for proc_flush_task have uml create it's own mount of proc
instead.

This allows proc_flush_task to evolve and remove the
need for having a proc_mnt to do it's job.
