[PATCH 7/7] kprobes: Support probing module __init function

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Nov 11 2008 - 16:00:16 EST


Allow kprobes to probe module __init routines.
When __init functions are freed, kprobes which probe those functions
are set to "Gone" flag. These "Gone" probes are disarmed from the code
and never be enabled.
