Hi every One,

I need to install Kprobes. I have Ubuntu 8 installed on my system and i have kprobes-2.6.9-final.tar.gz. Can any body explain me how to isntall Kprobe? On IBM web site (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-kprobes.html) follwoing commands are given

$tar -xvzf kprobes-2.6.8-rc1.tar.gz $cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-rc1 $patch -p1 < ../kprobes-2.6.8-rc1-base.patch

but there is no such folder like linux-2.6.8-rc1 instead i have linux-headers-2.6.24-19 linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic linux-headers-2.6.24-23 linux-headers-2.6.24-22 linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic can any body tell me how to install Kprobe ? I shall be very thankful

Regards

If your kernel is >= 2.6.9, then kprobes should already be apart of the kernel. No patch needed!

You should just need to rebuild your kernel with the following options enabled:


CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_RELAY=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

I recommend following the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
