[Bug 1071746] Re: proc(5) /proc/[pid]/stat describes 44 fields however there is more

[roncsak]

** Description changed:

  proc(5) only lists 44 fields, however I get much more when cat'ing
  /proc/pid/stat.
  
  Here is what I get (52 fields counted):
  3985 (eclipse) S 1 1513 1513 0 -1 4202496 82963 451290 481 284 26636 4125 1938 1267 20 0 22 0 974680 911331328 57317 4294967295 134512640 134526532 3215374240 3215370384 3078403108 0 4 4096 16796879 4294967295 0 0 17 1 0 0 1674 0 0 134532820 134533928 145444864 3215378654 3215378679 3215378679 3215380451 0
  
  What are the additional 8 fields?
  
  /proc/[pid]/stat says the information is defined in
  /usr/src/linux/fs/proc/array.c It is not there I have linux-
  headers-3.5.0-17 and linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic and none of them has
  array.c in their fs/proc/ dir.
  
+ *UPDATE*
+ There is missing information in /proc/[pid]/status, as well. VmLck is followed by VmPin, which is not in the documentation and VmPTE is followed by VmSwap which is not documented, also.
