Subject: runas: use CLONE_VM flag
X-Git-Tag: v2.0-pre17~38
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10d32e930a6b67c3f196ca3bf4f247d444d8c2b6;p=lttng-tools.git

runas: use CLONE_VM flag

Having to clone the vma each time runas is executed brings a significant
slowdown to the "start" operation when done with attached application,
and to the file creation needed when an application is attaching to the
sessiond. Use CLONE_VM flag to speed this up.
