+ * task_current_syscall - Discover what a blocked task is doing.
+ * @target:             thread to examine
+ * @callno:             filled with system call number or -1
+ * @args:               filled with @maxargs system call arguments
+ * @maxargs:            number of elements in @args to fill
+ * @sp:                 filled with user stack pointer
+ * @pc:                 filled with user PC
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno
+ * set to the the call's number and @args filled in with its arguments.
+ * Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and
+ * it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
+ * call is still in progress.  Note we may get this result if @target
+ * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
+ * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
+ * returns zero with *@callno set to -1 and does not fill in @args.
+ * If so, it's now safe to examine @target using &struct user_regset
+ * get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return to user mode.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EINVAL if @maxargs is too large (maximum is six).
