procfs is the unix port of a /Plan9/ Design priciple: everything should
be like a file.

The OpenBSD implementation of procfs was written/donated to BSD 15
years ago, back when it was still at Berkeley. In OpenBSD, it has
barely changed since, and isn't really maintained or supported, so
there's not much else to say
if it's use is far from recommended, indeed rather forbidden,
why is it left to rot?
It is left there for historical reasons, because some old applications
may use it.
For new applications we do not use it, but prefer to use a properly
designed sysctl or ioctl
interface to retrieve information

It's necessary for compat_linux. See the man page.
I wouldn't miss it...

The major reason for moving away from procfs is that there are
numerous TOCTOU problems.
out of curiousity, in principle, what is the difference between
accessing a through /procfs and the same value through sysctl,

Hi.
Sorry about the late response.
I do know what problem am having and what exactly I want, sorry didn't post
my original intention.
I would like to know more about procfs implemention in OpenBSD, not just
knowing how to mount it... That's what I refered to when I said didn't have
success while

I've re-compiled the kernel with option procfs and I still get the
error mount_procfs: /proc: Filesystem not supported by kernel when
mounting.
What else could I be missing ?
