[PATCH 0/8] mmap_cache subsystem (re-factoring)

[Masatake YAMATO]

When we added unwinding feature (activated with -k option), we also added
a code for caching the entries of /proc/$pid/maps.

The code for caching was tightly integrated with the code for
unwinding. However, while prototyping kvm vcpu state dump feature to
strace[1], I found the code for caching is useful for other purposes
than unwinding feature.

This patch set makes the code for caching usable independently of
unwinding feature. In the changes, I call the newly separated
code for caching "mmap_cache subsystem".
