Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 17:24:11 +0900 Message-ID: <87zk99zwb8.fsf@sejong.aot.lge.com> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.0.95 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-Brightmail-Tracker: AAAAAA== Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 576 Lines: 15 Hi, Probably a dumb question :). What prevents the kprobes from being built as a module? We want to use the kprobes on our systems, but some guys worried about potential security problems. So it'd be great if we can enable/load kprobes as needed and then disable/unload after using it. Is it a possible senario?
