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.

Hm, either check the return value or make the mount_proc() void?
Probably worth logging something but moving on without proc.

I guess this is user visible in some scenarios but the patch series
seems worth it!

I modified mconsole_proc (the only place that cares to see if
it has a valid proc_mnt).

So the code already does the moving on without mounting proc
and continues to work.

Further the code logs something when it tries to use the mount
of proc and proc is not available.

I think this can happen if someone is strange enough to compile
the kernel without proc.  So at least in some scenarios I believe
it is expected that it will fail.

So while I think it is good form to generate good error codes in
the incredibly unlikely case that proc_mount() fails during boot
I don't see the point of doing anything with them.

What scenarios do you think this would be user visible?

The set of calls to mount proc are slightly different, but the options
to proc when mounting (none) remain the same.

For the series as a whole the only place where it should be user visible
is when the proc mount options start getting honored.  AKA when
hidepid=N starts working as designed again.

Ok, but then make mount_proc()

static void __init mount_proc(void)

and not

static int __init mount_proc(void)

like you have now. That was what I was getting it. Unless there's
another reason for this.
