From fa8e26ccd485216fc45c8c2dd1ec3b7ef1a0a2f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:45:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracehook: tracehook_expect_breakpoints 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.
