Subject: [Bug translator/2426] New: detect and report writes to kernel variables and structures
Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 21:49:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060306214949.2426.hunt@redhat.com> (raw)

People will try to use systemtap for hot-patching and other uses for which it is
not intended. 

We should consider tainting the kernel, or at least writing entries to the
system log when programs that modify system variables or structures run.
