Name

syscall_get_return_value — get the return value of a traced system call

Synopsis

long syscall_get_return_value (struct task_struct * task,
 struct pt_regs * regs);
 

Arguments

task

task of interest, must be blocked

regs

task_pt_regs of task

Description

Returns the return value of the successful system call. This value is meaningless if syscall_get_error returned nonzero.

It's only valid to call this when task is stopped for tracing on exit from a system call, due to TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT.
