Hi everybody,

I'm facing an issue and I don't know whether the issue comes from the documentation or because I missed something.

Indeed, according to Linux Kernel's doc:

However, the value of argv and envp (e.g. bprm->mm->arg_start) are actually NULL at this point. This is due to the fact these values are setup in setup_arg_pages which is called after the hook. Additionnally at this point of time current still points to the old thread and not the new one, thus I cannot get the argument this way either

So my question is: Is the documentation incorrect or is there an alternate way to reliably get the arguments at this point?

Tell me if you need further informations

Thank you for your help!

Since I go no answer, I'm taking the liberty to bump this thread.

If you think I should add any data to clarify my point (traces, which data is ready a which point of bprm execution, ...), I can do it.

Also, if I may, do you think I didn't get any answer due to bad luck, because my question was on a too specifical topic or because you did not find it interesting?

THank you.
