Pathname escaping is not done properly in /proc/<pid>/maps;
because of this, different pathnames may appear the same
(verified by experiment and reading the source code).
Further details from Elvira about the relevant location in
the kernel code:
show_map_vma() from fs/proc/task_mmu.c uses seq_file_path()
from fs/seq_file.c to print the dentry name, which in turn
calls seq_path() from the same file. seq_path() uses
d_path() from fs/d_path.c to get the path name; this is
where the " (deleted)" part comes from. This is followed by
mangling the string with mangle_path() (fs/seq_file.c); this
function only replaces those characters that were supplied
in the "esc" argument and does not bother with escaping
anything else ('\\', for example). The value of this
argument comes without modifications from the initial call
of seq_file_path() by show_map_vma(), and that is "\n".
