Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 05/11] ptwrite uprobes: Factor file-backed instruction reads
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:00:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917230127.924985-6-ak@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917230127.924985-1-ak@kernel.org>

Refactor copy_insn into a more generic uprobe_copy_from_file.
The existing copy_insn is still there, but uses the generic
version now. The generic version will be used in later patches.

No semantic change intended.
