FUNCTION::UADDR(3stap)

✨ FUNCTION::UADDR πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the 3stap girlies β€” this is a SystemTap Tapset Reference page and we're about to get so comfy with it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

function::uaddr β€” literally the user space address of the current running task ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

uaddr:long()

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. no cap πŸ’€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • None β€” nothing, nada, zero arguments, she takes no notes and needs no input πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so like. she hands you back the address in userspace that the current task was chilling at when the probe occurred. that's the whole tea β˜•βœ¨

buuut β€” and this is important, bestie, don't skip this β€” if the current running task isn't a user space thread, OR if the address cannot be found, then zero is returned. periodt. no address, you get a zero, don't come for her πŸ’…

she's also lowkey the perfect duo partner: you can pair her up with usymname or usymdata to actually see where the current task is. iconic teamwork fr fr 🌈

and ngl, often the task will be in the VDSO where it entered the kernel β€” so if that's where you end up, that's not a glitch, that's just the lore 🧚
