If start_code / end_code pointers are screwed then "VmExe" could be bigger than total executable virtual memory and "VmLib" becomes negative: VmExe: 294320 kB VmLib: 18446744073709327564 kB VmExe and VmLib documented as text segment and shared library code size. Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of executable and not writable and not stack areas. I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of rodata sections. Probably this is bug in customized linker, elf loader or both. Anyway CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE allows to change these pointers, thus we cannot trust them without validation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
