Hi,
i am interested in protecting some modules unloading via SystemTap. I
have contemplated modifying the name_user argument but i see it is
passed as const. So does that mean that the pointer is pointing to a
read only memory location in which case i have no way of modifying it?
I wanted to change it to some non-existing module name which would
result in an error...Or maybe there is a way to cast the const away
and modify the name....?
Ideas?
Thanks,
-Daniel.
