From 606274c5abd8e245add01bc7145a8cbb92b69ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexei Starovoitov Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 22:38:36 -0700 Subject: bpf: introduce bpf_get_current_task() helper over time there were multiple requests to access different data structures and fields of task_struct current, so finally add the helper to access 'current' as-is. Tracing bpf programs will do the rest of walking the pointers via bpf_probe_read(). Note that current can be null and bpf program has to deal it with, but even dumb passing null into bpf_probe_read() is still safe.
