I am eager to know if you think that they are ready for submission towards upstream acceptance. Hi Frederic, Please find the changes in ftrace plugin code that moves the startup selftest code completely into trace_selftest_startup_ksym() as per your suggestion. Changelog --------- - A new interface modify_user_hw_breakpoint() to change the characteristics (such as type/length) of a pre-registered user-space breakpoint is introduced. - The startup selftest portion of code from ksym_trace_init() is moved completely to trace_selftest_startup_ksym(). process_new_ksym_entry() is required during the selftest and is no longer marked static. - HB_NUM is renamed to HBP_NUM (given that the short naming convention for hw_breakpoint is hbp). Thanks, K.Prasad
