So i think we should do the "without copying into a separate buffer" part of this series, but I do think we should just accept "%s" and "task->comm". IOW - getting rid of get_task_comm() is good. But the "%pTN" pointer format ends up being unnecessary. Linus

Since task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer. This simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary operations.
