Subject: [PATCH 22/23] task_current_syscall
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:31:35 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717073135.2445E15411D@magilla.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Roland McGrath's message of Thursday, 17 July 2008 00:25:41 -0700 <20080717072541.F390E15411D@magilla.localdomain>
This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the
asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK).
It's exported for modules to use in the future. This function safely
samples the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it
is blocked in, and the six system call argument registers.
