[PATCH -tip v10 4/9] kprobes: Jump optimization sysctl interface

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Feb 18 2010 - 17:07:37 EST


Add /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization sysctl which enables and disables
kprobes jump optimization on the fly for debugging.

Changes in v7:
- Remove ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED for upstream compatibility.

Changes in v6:
- Update comments and coding style.
