From 5e751e992f3fb08ba35e1ca8095ec8fbf9eda523 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 13:55:22 +0100 Subject: CRED: Rename cred_exec_mutex to reflect that it's a guard against ptrace Rename cred_exec_mutex to reflect that it's a guard against foreign intervention on a process's credential state, such as is made by ptrace(). The attachment of a debugger to a process affects execve()'s calculation of the new credential state - _and_ also setprocattr()'s calculation of that state.
