what does the get_wchan() in process.c (generally) do? I tried to find the
answer in google, but that doesn't word.
From man ps
wchan WCHAN name of the kernel function in which the process is
sleeping, a "-" if the process is running, or a "*"
if the process is multi-threaded and ps is not
displaying threads.
I think get_wchan is called to get the function address.
