* [Bug runtime/6883] New: Load helper-modules(ex. uprobes.ko) by non-privileged users

Issue:
uprobes.ko(and probably relay.ko on old kernel too?) isn't loaded automatically
when non-privileged user runs stap. I think it is not so useful if the user who
wants to run an uprobing-script must have a sudo-able account.

Possible solution:
Add a helper-module loading option to staprun.

------- Additional Comments From fche at redhat dot com  2008-09-15 13:02 -------
The uprobes build/load system can certainly be improved;
see also bug #5163.  (But we're not ready for fully
unprivileged users running systemtap yet.)
