Hi, I have a question about how to get command line arguments from kernel data structs... We have a loadable kernel module which can be used for thread CPU profiling etc.. Currently we can retrieve the program name from the field "char comm[16]" in task_struct. Unfortunately a jave program runs in its interpreted mode as "java HelloWorld" and so we can only get the word "java" from comm[16], not the program name "HelloWorld". Where in the kernel structs can one retrive the arguments? We understand that /proc/pid/cmdline has the arguments (and is used by tools like "top" or "ps"), and so it seems that arguments come from somewhere in the kernel. Thanks for your help, Charles -- H.
