 25  * task_current_syscall - Discover what a blocked task is doing.
 26  * @target:             thread to examine
 27  * @callno:             filled with system call number or -1
 28  * @args:               filled with @maxargs system call arguments
 29  * @maxargs:            number of elements in @args to fill
 30  * @sp:                 filled with user stack pointer
 31  * @pc:                 filled with user PC
 32  *
 33  * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno
 34  * set to the the call's number and @args filled in with its arguments.
 35  * Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and
 36  * it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
 37  * call is still in progress.  Note we may get this result if @target
 38  * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
 39  * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
 40  *
 41  * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
 42  * returns zero with *@callno set to -1 and does not fill in @args.
 43  * If so, it's now safe to examine @target using &struct user_regset
 44  * get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return to user mode.
 45  *
 46  * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
 47  *
 48  * Returns -%EINVAL if @maxargs is too large (maximum is six).
