From 1cb81b143fa8f0e4629f10690862e2e52ca792ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:51:43 +0200 Subject: x86, bts, mm: clean up buffer allocation The current mm interface is asymetric. One function allocates a locked buffer, another function only refunds the memory. Change this to have two functions for accounting and refunding locked memory, respectively; and do the actual buffer allocation in ptrace.
