I'd like to patch a running kernel to disable an annoying non-rate-limited
message but gdb won't let me.  (For various reasons, I don't want to have
to build a new kernel and reboot).

aalp03# chflags noschg /kernel
aalp03# gdb -k /kernel /dev/mem
GNU gdb 4.18
...
IdlePTD 3457024
initial pcb at 4d40000
panic messages:
---
---
#0  0xc0159bf0 in mi_switch ()
(kgdb) set write on 
(kgdb) print {int}0xc01fffa4 = 0x00004eb8
kvm_write:write failed
(kgdb) show write
Writing into executable and core files is on.
(kgdb)

0xc01fffa4 is in the kernel text area.

This is 4.4-STABLE from mid-December running at securelevel -1.

Is there any way around this?

Peter
