ok. And /proc is mounted? I did not see you unmounting it

Old /proc is unmounted when init restart, before executing my scripts,
all user processes are also killed in that step. When my scripts run,
proc filesystem is remounted to /tmp/proc before pivot_root&chroot to /tmp.
after chroot, its real mount point should be /proc in the new root.

Here is the output of `mount` just after pivot_root&chroot to /tmp:

/dev/root on /old_root type cramfs (rw)
none on / type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

and the `ps` output:

PID Uid VmSize Stat Command
1 root 616 S /bin/sh sbin/flash.sh
2 root SW [keventd]
3 root SWN [ksoftirqd_CPU0]
4 root SW [kswapd]
5 root SW [bdflush]
6 root SW [kupdated]
7 root SW [keyd]
8 root RW [ledtimed]
9 root SW [mtdblockd]
10 root Z [khubd]
181 root 676 R ps

I'm sure that no user process use old root now, but when run "umount /old_root", it says:
umount: /old_root: Device or resource busy

I have tried to remount /proc within the new root *after* chroot, but get the same result.
