66 // THE GORY DETAILS
67 //
68 // Did you know it's next-to-impossible to atomically read the whole contents
69 // of /proc/<pid>/maps? You would think that if we passed in a large-enough
70 // buffer to read() that It Should Just Work(tm), but sadly that's not the case.
71 //
72 // Linux's procfs uses seq_file [1] for handling iteration, text formatting,
73 // and dealing with resulting data that is larger than the size of a page. That
74 // last bit is especially important because it means that seq_file will never
75 // return more than the size of a page in a single call to read().
76 //
77 // Unfortunately for a program like Chrome the size of /proc/self/maps is
78 // larger than the size of page so we're forced to call read() multiple times.
79 // If the virtual memory table changed in any way between calls to read() (e.g.,
80 // a different thread calling mprotect()), it can make seq_file generate
81 // duplicate entries or skip entries.
82 //
83 // Even if seq_file was changed to keep flushing the contents of its page-sized
84 // buffer to the usermode buffer inside a single call to read(), it has to
85 // release its lock on the virtual memory table to handle page faults while
86 // copying data to usermode. This puts us in the same situation where the table
87 // can change while we're copying data.
88 //
89 // Alternatives such as fork()-and-suspend-the-parent-while-child-reads were
90 // attempted, but they present more subtle problems than it's worth. Depending
91 // on your use case your best bet may be to read /proc/<pid>/maps prior to
92 // starting other threads.
