In the 2.0 kernels, I used (successfully):
unsigned long i;
char c;
printk("Environment: ");
for (i=current->mm->env_start; i<current->mm->env_end; i++) {
c=get_fs_byte(i);
printk("%c", c);
}
printk("\n");
I tried to make this work for the 2.2.0 kernel:
unsigned long i;
char c;
printk("Environment:");
for (i=current->mm->env_start; i<current->mm->env_end; i++) {
get_user(c, (char *)i);
printk("%c", c);
}
printk("\n");
but I get only a (small) part of the environment, starting and ending at a
random position...
What is the correct way to do this?
PS1. I looked at drivers/block/floppy.c and I found the same method, used
when the floppy module parameters are passed by the environment. Anyone
use this method with succes?
PS2. In fs/proc/array.c a different, much more complex, method is used,
but I was unable to do the same in a _module_ (seems to work only when
compiled into the kernel).
Thanks.
