proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline
/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with $ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether. People noticed and ask questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory. To not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary sized command lines. I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]". The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count. There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.
