[LTP] [PATCH] [PATCH] Migrating the libhugetlbfs/testcases/ptrace-write-hugepage.c

Pavithra pavrampu@linux.ibm.com
Fri Nov 28 05:47:28 CET 2025


This test uses ptrace() to poke and peek data in a child process that has mapped a hugepage
This test creates a child process, has it map a hugepage, and
then the parent process attaches to the child using ptrace() to modify and verify the data in the hugepage
