Well, for 2.6.22, Kprobes will just be disabled if you use DEBUG_RODATA.And yes, that patch already got merged. However, the patch to *allow* Kprobes with DEBUG_RODATA is not, and will not be. It's not a regression, and quite frankly, I don't think I would even want that patch. Kprobes fundamntally disagrees with DEBUG_RODATA, there's no point in "working around it". Better just admit it.

It depends on the purpose of DEBUG_RODATA. If DEBUG_RODATA was for security reasons then I agree, but it seems to be more to catch accidental writes. Kprobes isn't an accidental write and I would suspect many developers would want to catch accidental writes and be able to insert kprobes. Or is there something else I'm missing - i.e. you're saying the patch itself is crap?
