Kprobes: The ON/OFF knob thru debugfs
This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off
o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or
not (default enabled)
o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes
o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but
not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case.
o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally
enabled or not.
o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there
also update the doc to make it current.
We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling
feature provided by this patch.
