Comment (by yawning):

 Looking at the go runtime library's use of "/proc" as of 1.7.3:
  * `src/syscall/exec_linux.go` - `/proc/$PID/[setgroups,uid_map,gid_map]`
  * `src/runtime/pprof/pprof.go` - `/proc/self/maps`
  * `src/os/sys_linux.go` - `/proc/sys/kernel/hostname`
  * `src/net/sock_linux.go` - `/proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn`
  * `src/net/interface_linux.go` - `/proc/net/[igmp,igmp6]`
  * `src/cmd/internal/pprof/report/source.go` - `/proc/self/cwd`
  * `src/cmd/dist/build.go` - `/proc/$PID/ns`

 The files that may be accessed by obfs4proxy are:
  * `/proc/sys/kernel/hostname` which is compiled in because the `log`
 package has syslog support.
  * `/proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn` which is used to determine the
 `listen()` backlog, but will default to `128` if the read/parse fails in
 any way.

 Based on this I shall disable `/proc` entirely for the tor container.
