You can't safely make the assumption inside module code, right? If you want the userland stack pointer, you can get that. You don't even know whether the userland binary was compiled from C, though, so you can't really make any assumptions about the address of the current userland stack frame. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
