Hi Oleg, sure you were right. I even think testing for
num_exe_file_vmas is not needed, since until real
executable VMA is read and mapped it might remain
zero. So I guess something like below should work.

Subject: c/r: prctl: Add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file v2

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup
a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would
point to the original executable file a process had at
checkpoint time.

For this sake PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced.

This feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.
