It is better to use get_task_comm() instead of the open coded string
copy as we do in other places.

struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace
coredump or kernel vmcore. Below is the verfication of vmcore,

It works well as expected.

We have a hard-coded "pr_fname[16]" as well, not sure if we want to
adjust that to use TASK_COMM_LEN?

Anyhow

But if the intention is to chance TASK_COMM_LEN later, we might want to
keep that unchanged.

(replacing the 16 by a define might still be a good idea, similar to how
it's done for ELF_PRARGSZ, but just a thought)

It seems that len will not change in the end. Another solution is
going to be used for the long names, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211108084142.4692-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com.

If the code would need some tweaking when the size changes, you could
still use TASK_COMM_LEN and trigger a compilation error when the size
gets modified. For example, static_assert(TASK_COMM_LEN == 16);

It will make it clear that it needs attention if the size is ever modified.

Yes, that's what I recall as well. The I read the patch
subjects+descriptions in this series "make it adopt to task comm size
change" and was slightly confused.

Maybe we should just remove any notion of "task comm size change" from
this series and instead just call it a cleanup.

I think we can just add some comments to make it grepable, for example,

+  /* TASK_COMM_LEN */
    char pr_fname[16];

or a more detailed explanation:

+  /*
+   * The hard-coded 16 is derived from TASK_COMM_LEN, but it can be changed as
+   *  it is exposed to userspace. We'd better make it hard-coded here.
+   */
char pr_fname[16];

Agreed that it may make a little confused for the one who didn't
engage in this series at the first place.
I will improve the subjection+description.
