prlimit64
Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”long prlimit64(pid_t pid, unsigned int resource, const struct rlimit64 *new_rlim, struct rlimit64 *old_rlim);| Number (x86-64) | 302 |
| ABI | common |
| Kernel entry point | sys_prlimit64 |
This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.
Description
Section titled “Description”Gets and sets a resource limit of any process.
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
pid (arg0) |
pid_t |
Process or thread id. |
resource (arg1) |
unsigned int |
Resource limit selector, such as RLIMIT_NOFILE. |
new_rlim (arg2) |
const struct rlimit64 * |
Pointer to the new limit. |
old_rlim (arg3) |
struct rlimit64 * |
Where the old limit is stored. |
Return value
Section titled “Return value”On success: 0.
In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.
Common errors
Section titled “Common errors”| Raw return | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
-22 |
EINVAL |
An argument is invalid. |
-1 |
EPERM |
The operation is not permitted for this process. |
-3 |
ESRCH |
No such process or thread. |
Man page
Section titled “Man page”Captured by Antinomie
Section titled “Captured by Antinomie”Coverage mark: Implemented. Every pointer argument has a capture rule in the pinned kernel patch and none of them records a “no decoder”, “address only” or “not observed” gap on any code path. Individual values can still be incomplete on a particular call; see the capture statuses.
Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Argument | When | How | Recorded field key | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pid (arg0) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.0, args.pid |
|
resource (arg1) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.1, args.resource |
|
new_rlim (arg2) |
Entry | the pointer itself, as a raw word | args.2, args.raw[2] |
|
| ↳ pointee | Entry | structure rlimit64 (fixed size) |
arg2.data |
always |
old_rlim (arg3) |
Entry | the pointer itself, as a raw word | args.3, args.raw[3] |
|
| ↳ pointee | Exit | structure rlimit64 (fixed size) |
arg3.data |
result is 0 |
