[PATCH for 2.6.22] [7/10] x86: Disable KPROBES with DEBUG_RODATA for now

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Right now Kprobes cannot write to the write protected kernel text when 
DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. Disallow this in Kconfig for now.

Temporary fix for 2.6.22. In .23 add code to temporarily
unprotect it.
