Then have the kprobe_event work more like the kprobe_events file, and not enable the kprobes but only create them. If you want to enable them you do a trace_event=kprobes as well. Perhaps we could enable kprobes at early init? What do you think? Or is there something else in kprobes that prevents such an early enabling of it? -- Steve
