    [$] Modifying another process's system calls

    Date:
    Tue, 14 Jan 2025 17:47:44 +0000

    Description:
    The ptrace() system call allows a suitably privileged process to modify another in a
    large number of ways. Among other things, ptrace() can intercept
    system calls and make changes to them, but such operations can be fiddly
    and architecture-dependent. This patch series from
    Dmitry Levin seeks to improve that situation by adding a new ptrace() operation to make changes to another process's system
    calls in an architecture-independent manner.
