The dprobes guys are working with a strategy where all of the infrastructure for attaching probe points, kernel hooks, and dealing with architecture specific debug registers is covered by a kprobes patch, and then dprobes would just be one of many consumers of kprobes. The debates are happening right now, with kprobes patches posted for 2.5.44. We need to get a good understanding of these patches since I suspect we could at least be a consumer of kprobes (if not of dprobes which will depend on kprobes.) Also, depending on how successful dprobes is at this approach, we could model our involvement with the kernel after dprobes. -rusty |
