2016-09-16lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()Andy Lutomirski1-2/+13
This will avoid a potential read-after-free if collect_syscall() (e.g. /proc/PID/syscall) is called on an exiting task.

2014-04-03lib/syscall.c: unexport task_current_syscall()Andrew Morton1-1/+0
It is only used by procfs and procfs cannot be a module. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-03-07lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2008-07-26task_current_syscallRoland McGrath1-0/+75
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.
