From bf8f6e5b3e51ee0c64c2d1350c70198ddc8ad3f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:34:16 -0700 Subject: Kprobes: The ON/OFF knob thru debugfs This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or not (default enabled) o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case. o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones registered in the intervening period) will be enabled o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally enabled or not. o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there also update the doc to make it current. We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling feature provided by this patch.
