Working on ports of ftrace, I found that many of the functions in lib/ are used by several locations that just can't be traced, due to how low level they are. I just simply blacklisted the entire lib/ directory (See the top of lib/Makefile) I wonder if there's an easy way to blacklist entire directories from being used by kprobes too. Or at least do it by a file per file basis. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
