Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fix the "old_pid" usage in trace_sched_process_exec()
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:26:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120330162636.GA4857@redhat.com> (raw)
1. TRACE_EVENT(sched_process_exec) forgets to actually use the
old pid argument, it sets ->old_pid = p->pid.
2. search_binary_handler() uses the wrong pid number. tracepoint
needs the global pid_t from the root namespace, while old_pid
is the virtual pid number as it seen by the tracer/parent.
With this patch we have two pid_t's in search_binary_handler(),
not really nice. Perhaps we should switch to "struct pid*", but
in this case it would be better to cleanup the current code first
and move the "depth == 0" code outside.
