Re: instrumentation and kprobes really still "EXPERIMENTAL"?

isn't kprobes mature enough to not be considered experimental anymore?

That would vary from arch to arch.


in addition, while most of the KPROBES config options depend on

KALLSYMS && EXPERIMENTAL && MODULES

the s390 architecture depends only on

EXPERIMENTAL && MODULES

and its instrumentation support is *not* listed as experimental.

  also, the avr32 entry is in the file Kconfig.debug, and depends only
on DEBUG_KERNEL.  just an observation.

This probably stems from the episodic growth kprobes across different archs. It can be cleaned up I suppose.
