25 * task_current_syscall - Discover what a blocked task is doing.
26 * @target: thread to examine
27 * @callno: filled with system call number or -1
28 * @args: filled with @maxargs system call arguments
29 * @maxargs: number of elements in @args to fill
30 * @sp: filled with user stack pointer
31 * @pc: filled with user PC
33 * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno
34 * set to the the call's number and @args filled in with its arguments.
35 * Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and
36 * it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
37 * call is still in progress. Note we may get this result if @target
38 * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
39 * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
41 * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
42 * returns zero with *@callno set to -1 and does not fill in @args.
43 * If so, it's now safe to examine @target using &struct user_regset
44 * get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return to user mode.
46 * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
48 * Returns -%EINVAL if @maxargs is too large (maximum is six).
