[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Add bpf_task_cwd_from_pid() kfunc - Linux-kselftest-mirror

29 May 2025

From: Rong Tao rongtao@cestc.cn
It is a bit troublesome to get cwd based on pid in bpf program, such as
bpftrace example [1].
This patch therefore adds a new bpf_task_cwd_from_pid() kfunc which
allows BPF programs to get cwd from a pid.
