Hi.
I found, that there is no way to know if the given process is a system
(kernel) process or not:
- P_SYSTEM flag is used also for userland processes (init),
- P_KTHREAD flag is not used for swapper,
- ps(1) thinks, that it found system process when there are no arguments
(argv =3D=3D NULL || argv[0] =3D=3D NULL), but this is not true:
char *argv[1] =3D { NULL };
execve("/path/to/somewhere", argv, NULL);
/path/to/somewhere process will be recognized by ps(1) as a system proces=
s.
The easiest way to fix it, is to add P_KTHREAD flag to the swapper, I think:
