Yes. And I should know this as I communicated and met with him on several occasions when
I was developing /proc for Janus (Linux binary emulation) on Solaris x86.
So, I was defo wrong on this. /proc was done by Roger at AT&T (maybe USL). I recall
him telling me that he was not the original author though and that it came from PWB.
AFAIK, Roger was the original author for ProcFS-II that was introduced later in
SunOS-5 (I believe it was Solaris-2.6) and introduced subdirectories.

Pretty sure /proc was not a SunOS thing.
and I believe that Roger Faulkner did come from AT&T
