[PATCH -tip 3/4] kprobes: Check probe address is reserved

Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@redhat.com
Tue Feb 2 21:41:00 GMT 2010


Check whether the address of new probe is already reserved by ftrace
or alternatives (on x86) when registering new probe.
If reserved, it returns an error and not register the probe.
