Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] utrace core
> Why does it depend on MODULES?
Because otherwise it's not adding anything new anyone can use.

No. If that were done, then it would be:
depends on MODULE || PTRACE
or suchlike.
> Is there anything in the code that actually breaks without
> CONFIG_MODULES?
No.
Thanks,
Roland
