✨ trace_user_fault_get ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely so short and so sweet, like a little snack of a syscall-adjacent function 🍓 lowkey iconic behavior tbh.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int trace_user_fault_get (struct trace_user_buf_info *tinfo );

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Ups the ref count of the trace buffer. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

Returns the new ref count. so it's giving "here's your updated number, you're welcome" 🔥
