[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: ptrace_get_syscall_info: factor out ptrace_get_syscall_info_op
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     ptrace_get_syscall_info-factor-out-ptrace_get_syscall_info_op.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/ptrace_get_syscall_info-factor-out-ptrace_get_syscall_info_op.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything
branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there every 2-3 working days

Subject: ptrace_get_syscall_info: factor out ptrace_get_syscall_info_op
Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2025 13:20:38 +0200

Move the code that calculates the type of the system call stop out of
ptrace_get_syscall_info() into a separate function
ptrace_get_syscall_info_op() which is going to be used later to implement
PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.
