Thank you. You are right.
I made the changes suggested by both you and Kostik. I still have
random data when reading.
I'm trying to to the same thing using kern/sys_generic.c::read and
kern/sys_process.c::kern_ptrace
as examples, but I'm missing something...
After reading with proc_rwmem, is it possible to do something like the
following?
if (ret_code == 0) {
sbuf_printf(sb, "proc_rwmem successfully executed: %d\n",
ret_code);
} else {
sbuf_printf(sb, "Error in proc_rwmem: %d\n", ret_code);
}
pss = (struct ps_strings *)(iov.iov_base);
sbuf_printf(sb, "ps_nargvstr = %d\nps_nenvstr = %d\n",
pss->ps_nargvstr, pss->ps_nenvstr);
Thanks in advance.
