Instrumentation facilities do not work for kernel 3.16-rc2: RO/NX issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Instrumentation facilities do not work for kernel 3.16-rc2 because the code of 
a kernel module now becomes read-only earlier (if 
CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y).

That is, earlier than the notifier is called and the instrumentation starts.

Here is the commit:

We need to either do the instrumentation earlier (see how Ftrace got around 
this) or remove RO before and restore it after instrumentation if needed.

Can this be marked as "Fixed"?

Will be marked as "fixed" when we release the version of KEDR containing this 
fix. Until then, it will be kept open.
