Subject: [PATCH 11/14] alpha: use generic ptrace memory writes
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 22:35:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103214120.1099893-12-linmag7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103214120.1099893-1-linmag7@gmail.com>
Let ptrace_request() handle PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_POKEDATA,
removing the duplicate calls to generic_ptrace_pokedata(). Keep Alpha's
PEEK handlers for its direct-return syscall convention.
