That must be a bug, since the kprobe_events design policy is to support following operation. $ cat kprobe_events > /etc/event_setting (reboot) $ cat /etc/event_setting > kprobe_events What about below patch? >From 935ed56819f2bfb7ac977f5c63273c9a6e3dfb42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2020 10:57:48 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace/kprobe: Show the maxactive number on kprobe_events Show maxactive parameter on kprobe_events. This allows user to save the current configuration and restore it without losing maxactive parameter.
