[PATCH v3 1/4] proc: Add get_task_cmdline_kernel() function

Helge Deller deller at gmx.de
Mon Aug 8 23:09:14 AEST 2022


Add a new function get_task_cmdline_kernel() which reads the command
line of a process into a kernel buffer. This command line can then be
dumped by arch code to give additional debug info via the parameters
with which a faulting process was started.

The new function re-uses the existing code which provides the cmdline
for the procfs. For that the existing functions were modified so that
the buffer page is allocated outside of get_mm_proctitle() and
get_mm_cmdline() and instead provided as parameter.

Changes in v3:
- add parameter names in header files, noticed by: kernel test robot
- require task to be locked by caller
