From 43627582799db317e966ecb0002c2c3c9805ec0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivasa Ds Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:24:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: refuse kprobe insertion on add/sub_preempt_counter() Kprobes makes use of preempt_disable(),preempt_enable_noresched() and these functions inturn call add/sub_preempt_count(). So we need to refuse user from inserting probe in to these functions. This patch disallows user from probing add/sub_preempt_count().
