Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they do significantly different actions, so they are not easy to fit into a single library function. Committer changes: . No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer. . Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space. . No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch] . Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but since we're moving this around, check that as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
