Re: [PATCH] Identify which executable object the userspace addressbelongs to. Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the addressin the process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map,but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process mightnot exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is unlikely.

Are there any alternatives I could use?

This function is called when I do 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/trace', not
during tracing itself.
