[PATCH v5 14/15] kprobes: remove dependency on CONFIG_MODULES

Mike Rapoport rppt at kernel.org
Mon Apr 22 02:44:35 PDT 2024


From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for
code.

Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be
enabled in non-modular kernels.

Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes inside
modules, make CONFIG_KPROBES select CONFIG_EXECMEM and drop the
dependency of CONFIG_KPROBES on CONFIG_MODULES.
