Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] utrace core

> Why does it depend on MODULES? 

Because otherwise it's not adding anything new anyone can use.

> Does this mean that when ptrace is switched to using the utrace engines,
> non-modular kernels will have to lack ptrace(2)?

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
