btw., in case you feel inclined, i recently did some userspace coding
and found to my surprise that /proc/self points to the parent task, not
the thread itself (giving threads no real way to examine themselves). If
you are hacking in this area, would it be a big trouble to add something
like /proc/self-task/ or something like that? I had to use a raw gettid
syscall to figure out the TID to get to /proc/*/tasks/TID/sched
instrumentation info - which is quite a PITA.
