From 376040e47334c6dc6a939a32197acceb00fe4acf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kenny Yu Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 10:54:01 -0800 Subject: bpf: Add bpf_copy_from_user_task() helper This adds a helper for bpf programs to read the memory of other tasks. As an example use case at Meta, we are using a bpf task iterator program and this new helper to print C++ async stack traces for all threads of a given process.
