Hi,

I, and some others, recently noticed that procfs with compat linux
flag enabled do not show linux specific files anymore during root
directory listing.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> mount -vv | grep proc
procfs on /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc type procfs (local, fsid: 0x1b02/0x1ae1b, reads: sync 0 async 0, writes: sync 0 async 0, [procfs: version=1, flags=0x1<linuxcompat>])

njoly@lanfeust [~]> ls -l /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc | grep cpuinfo
njoly@lanfeust [~]> ls -l /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc/cpuinfo
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Dec  4 17:08 /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc/cpuinfo

I tracked it to the `procfs_readdir()', which is calling
`procfs_validfile_linux()' to check if the filesystem has the linux
mount option and this file is valid.

In revision 1.136 of procfs_vnops.c, procfs_validfile() was fixed
apparently to avoid NULL pointer dereference ... And some checks, to
check for NULL lwp/proc were removed from procfs_validfile_linux() at
the same time.

Unfortunately, procfs_readdir() calls procfs_validfile_linux() with
its first argument being NULL (== lwp), which always results in
procfs_validfile() returning 0 ... and skipping all linux specific
files in root directory listings !

For now, i restored the expected behaviour by checking for NULL lwp
and proc again ...

Hope this helps,
Regards.
