On x86, the kernel gets the current task using the current macro like below: #define current get_current() static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void) { return this_cpu_read_stable(pcpu_hot.current_task); } So it returns the current_task field of struct pcpu_hot which is the first member. On my build, it's located at 0x32940. $ nm vmlinux | grep pcpu_hot 0000000000032940 D pcpu_hot And the current macro generates the instructions like below: mov %gs:0x32940, %rcx So the %gs segment register points to the beginning of the per-cpu region of this cpu and it points the variable with a constant. Let's update the instruction location info to have a segment register and handle %gs in kernel to look up a global variable. Pretend it as a global variable by changing the register number to DWARF_REG_PC.
