• aa1f1a639   lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall() ... Browse Code »

  This will avoid a potential read-after-free if collect_syscall()
  (e.g. /proc/PID/syscall) is called on an exiting task.

  43

  For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
  them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
  using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
  include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
  the way.

  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.
