Hmm, would you already tried to trace task/task_newtask and task/task_rename
events? which also gives you task's comm.
Of course there are no way to get running task's comm...
Anyway, I also think more generic idea, e.g. enable to get "current" address.
With the "current" address, we can do similar thing (by using perf-probe)
The code looks good to me. As Namhyung said, it should support uprobes
too.
BTW, now I'm considering integrate kprobes and uprobes ftrace interface.
It is easy to classify given event definition is for kprobes or uprobes.
So, we don't need to have 2 different interfaces for it.
Thank you,
