Subject: [RFC v1 09/19] ptwrite uprobes: Factor file-backed instruction reads
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:04:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831150651.1134594-10-ak@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831150651.1134594-1-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.
