Jan Rybar 2017-03-24 11:19:45 UTC Doc Text 'ps' contained code to strip 'sys_' and 'do_' prefixes from WCHAN (i.e. wait channel) data retrieved from /proc/PID/wchan file for historical reasons.
This caused ambiguities in recognition of wait channels (i.e. functions where the process is waiting to resume) which contained 'do_' and 'sys_' prefixes on purpose, e.g. get_write_access() and do_get_write_access() which are two distinctive functions in kernel. The stripping made those fucntions look the same and user could not distinguish one from another in 'ps' output.

This part of code was removed from 'ps'. 'ps -o WCHAN' now shows wait channels with their full, unstripped names.

*ps* no longer remover prefixes from wait channel names

Application *ps* previously removed `sys_` and `do_` prefixes from wait channel (`WCHAN`) data. This prevented user from distinguishing functions with names intentionally containing these prefixes in *ps* output.

The code for prefix removing was removed from *ps*. *ps* now shows wait channels with their full names.

*ps* no longer removes prefixes from wait channel names

The *ps* utility was previously removing the `sys_` and `do_` prefixes from wait channel (`WCHAN`) data. This prevented the user from distinguishing functions with names intentionally containing these prefixes in a *ps* output. The code for prefix removing has been removed, and *ps* now shows full wait channel names.
