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