From 23aebe1691a3d98a79676db6c0fd813e16478804 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:38:39 -0700 Subject: exec: kill bprm->tcomm[], simplify the "basename" logic Starting from commit c4ad8f98bef7 ("execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing") bprm->filename can not go away after flush_old_exec(), so we do not need to save the binary name in bprm->tcomm[] added by 96e02d158678 ("exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec()"). And there was never need for filename_to_taskname-like code, we can simply do set_task_comm(kbasename(filename). This patch has to change set_task_comm() and trace_task_rename() to accept "const char *", but I think this change is also good.
