In some cases /proc/<pid>/status shows VmLib: 42949..... kB. If READ_IMPLIES_EXEC then the break area is VM_EXEC, but omitted from exec_vm since do_brk contains no __vm_stat_account call. Later munmaps count its pages out of exec_vm, hence (exec_vm - VmExe) can go negative. do_brk is right not to call __vm_stat_account, its pages shouldn't need to be counted. What's wrong is that __vm_stat_account is counting all the VM_EXEC pages, whereas (to mimic 2.4 and earlier 2.6) it should be leaving VM_WRITE areas and non-vm_file areas out of exec_vm. VmLib may still appear larger than before - where a READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality makes what was a readonly mapping of a file now executable e.g. /usr/lib/locale stuff. And a program which mprotects its own text as writable will appear with wrapped VmLib: sorry, but while it's worth showing ordinary programs as ordinary, it's not worth much effort to avoid showing odd ones as odd.
