| 5 // This file implements BSD-style setproctitle() for Linux. |
| 6 // It is written such that it can easily be compiled outside Chromium. |
| 7 // |
| 8 // The Linux kernel sets up two locations in memory to pass arguments and |
| 9 // environment variables to processes. First, there are two char* arrays stored |
| 10 // one after another: argv and environ. A pointer to argv is passed to main(), |
| 11 // while glibc sets the global variable |environ| to point at the latter. Both |
| 12 // of these arrays are terminated by a NULL pointer; the environment array is |
| 13 // also followed by some empty space to allow additional variables to be added. |
| 14 // |
| 15 // These arrays contain pointers to a second location in memory, where the |
| 16 // strings themselves are stored one after another: first all the arguments, |
| 17 // then the environment variables. The kernel will allocate a single page of |
| 18 // memory for this purpose, so the end of the page containing argv[0] is the |
| 19 // end of the storage potentially available to store the process title. |
| 20 // |
| 21 // When the kernel reads the command line arguments for a process, it looks at |
| 22 // the range of memory within this page that it initially used for the argument |
| 23 // list. If the terminating '\0' character is still where it expects, nothing |
| 24 // further is done. If it has been overwritten, the kernel will scan up to the |
| 25 // size of a page looking for another. (Note, however, that in general not that |
| 26 // much space is actually mapped, since argv[0] is rarely page-aligned and only |
| 27 // one page is mapped.) |
| 28 // |
| 29 // Thus to change the process title, we must move any environment variables out |
| 30 // of the way to make room for a potentially longer title, and then overwrite |
| 31 // the memory pointed to by argv[0] with a single replacement string, making |
| 32 // sure its size does not exceed the available space. |
| 33 // |
| 34 // It is perhaps worth noting that patches to add a system call to Linux for |
| 35 // this, like in BSD, have never made it in: this is the "official" way to do |
| 36 // this on Linux. Presumably it is not in glibc due to some disagreement over |
| 37 // this position within the glibc project, leaving applications caught in the |
| 38 // middle. (Also, only a very few applications need or want this anyway.) |
