NAMEtask_current_syscall − Discover what a blocked task is doing​.

SYNOPSISint task_current_syscall(struct task_struct * target, long * callno, unsigned long args[6], unsigned int maxargs, unsigned long * sp, unsigned long * pc);

ARGUMENTStarget thread to examine callno filled with system call number or −1 args[6] filled with maxargs system call arguments maxargs number of elements in args to fill sp filled with user stack pointer pc filled with user PC

DESCRIPTIONIf target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *callno set to the the call´s number and args filled in with its arguments​. Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and it is not kosher to use struct user_regset calls while the system call is still in progress​. Note we may get this result if target has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such as when it´s stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing​. If target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception, returns zero with *callno set to −1 and does not fill in args​. If so, it´s now safe to examine target using struct user_regset get calls as long as we´re sure target won´t return to user mode​. Returns −EAGAIN if target does not remain blocked​. Returns −EINVAL if maxargs is too large (maximum is six)​.
