Re: [PATCH] Identify which executable object the userspace address belongs to. Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map, but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is unlikely.

Hmm, this is just for visualizing things in /sys/kernel/debug/, can't I
use something simpler than mangle_path, such as a simple while loop like
the one below?

+ static int
+trace_seq_path(struct trace_seq *s, struct path *path)
+{
+ char *p;
+
+ if (s->len >= (PAGE_SIZE - 1))
+ return 0;
+ p = d_path(path, s->buffer + s->len, PAGE_SIZE - s->len);
+ if (!IS_ERR(p)) {
+ size_t i = s->len;
+ char c;
+ while ((c = *p++)) {
+ if (c != '\n')
+ s->buffer[i++] = c;
+ }
+ s->len = i;
+ return 1;
+ } else {
+ s->buffer[s->len++] = '?';
+ return 1;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+}
