In the case of probing a module function, the event can be gone when the module is unloaded. At that time, enable_trace_probe must fails. BTW, Steven, could you control the traffic of recent tracing works? :) There are several works on the ftrace we made, but each of them sometimes conflicting. We'd better make a merge plan or a working branch on your tracing tree which allows us to work together on it. Thank you! -- Masami HIRAMATSU IT Management Research Dept.
