Is it possible to get a process's name / full execution path (from
kernelspace) given only a task struct? I can't find any pointers to this
information in the task struct, and I don't know where else it might be. ps
seems to be able to get the process name, but that's from userspace.
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question.
