tracehook: tracehook_expect_breakpoints
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This adds tracehook_expect_breakpoints() as a formal hook for the nommu
code to use for its, "Is text-poking likely?" check at mmap time.  This
names the actual semantics the code means to test, and documents it.
