Subject: [PATCH 09/23] tracehook: tracehook_expect_breakpoints
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:29:54 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717072954.C4CD015411D@magilla.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Roland McGrath's message of  Thursday, 17 July 2008 00:25:41 -0700 <20080717072541.F390E15411D@magilla.localdomain>

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.
