From 55181000cd60334fe920c65ffbcdfe0e3f1de406 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:23:35 +0200 Subject: x86: Disable KPROBES with DEBUG_RODATA for now 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.
