From 615d0ebbc782b67296e3226c293f520f93f93515 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 16:49:04 -0500 Subject: kprobes: Disable booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y Disable kprobe booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y at this time, because it can't ensure that all kernel threads preempted on kprobe's boosted slot run out from the slot even using freeze_processes(). The booster on preemptive kernel will be resumed if synchronize_tasks() or something like that is introduced.
