Linus Torvalds 2954152298 Merge branch 'proc-cmdline' (/proc/<pid>/cmdline fixes)
This fixes two problems reported with the cmdline simplification and
cleanup last year:

 - the setproctitle() special cases didn't quite match the original
   semantics, and it can be noticeable:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.LNX.2.21.1904052326230.3249@kich.toxcorp.com/

 - it could leak an uninitialized byte from the temporary buffer under
   the right (wrong) circustances:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190712160913.17727-1-izbyshev@ispras.ru/

It rewrites the logic entirely, splitting it into two separate commits
(and two separate functions) for the two different cases ("unedited
cmdline" vs "setproctitle() has been used to change the command line").

* proc-cmdline:
  /proc/<pid>/cmdline: add back the setproctitle() special case
  /proc/<pid>/cmdline: remove all the special cases

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
