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

Even if that was true, which would be avery sad world I should be
easy enough for you or anyone to look at what seq_path does and how
to have a version that doesn't use the seq_file insterface. Takes
about two minutes with most of the time spent on finding where seq_file
is implemented.
