hi,

durin my work on SoC I happened to be in a need of "catching" the transition of
execve() from fbsd binary to linux binary and back.

Kostik Belousov suggested using the process_exit handler event but it doesnt
contain information necessary to distinguish such a switch. He proposes
extending 

	typedef void (*execlist_fn)(void *, struct proc *);

with a 3rd param "struct image_params" and extending this structure with a
brand info. That would let us see such brand switches by investigating p->p_sysent and 
imgp->brand_type.

is this ok? or is there any better solution?

thnx for answer
