The patch titled
task_current_syscall
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
task_current_syscall.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: task_current_syscall
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the
asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK). It's
exported for modules to use in the future. This function safely samples
the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked
in, and the six system call argument registers.

+ * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno
+ * set to the the call's number and @args filled in with its arguments.
+ * Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and
+ * it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
+ * call is still in progress. Note we may get this result if @target
+ * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
+ * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
+ * returns zero with *@callno set to -1 and does not fill in @args.
+ * If so, it's now safe to examine @target using &struct user_regset
+ * get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return to user mode.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EINVAL if @maxargs is too large (maximum is six).
