accidentally broke it in the middle 2016.
The problem is that because we perform an internal mount of proc
before user space mounts proc all of the mount options that user
specifies when mounting proc are ignored.
You can set those mount options with a remount but that is rather
surprising.
This most directly affects android which is using hidpid=2 by default.
Now that the sysctl system call support has been removed, and we have
settled on way of flushing proc dentries when a process exits without
using proc_mnt, there is an simple and easy fix.
a) Give UML mconsole it's own private mount of proc to use.
b) Stop creating the internal mount of proc
We still need Alexey Gladkov's full patch to get proc mount options to
work inside of UML, and to be generally useful. This set of changes
is just enough to get them working as well as they have in the past.
If anyone sees any problem with this code please let me know.
Otherwise I plan to merge these set of fixes through my tree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
