about thread_info in task_struct

Hi,

First thank jim! I got the write access for systemtap.

There is some change about task_struct in sched.h (since 2.6.22)

Therefor task_test.stp failed.  Reason in tapset/task.stp:

>  function task_cpu:long (task:long)
>  %( kernel_v >= "2.6.23" %?
>  %{ /* pure */
  ........

So maybe need a little modification, kernel_v >= "2.6.22" or using macro task_thread_info

Another, I wrote function for returning task addr in case of only knowing pid:

/*return task addr according to process id*/
function get_task: long (pid:long) %{
       struct task_struct *p;
       pid_t pid;
       pid = (pid_t)(long)THIS->pid;
       rcu_read_lock();
       p = find_task_by_pid(pid);
       rcu_read_unlock();
       THIS->__retvalue = (long) p;
       CATCH_DEREF_FAULT();
%}

Please review it. 

Best regards,
Wenji
